School boards may have purchased tariffs which allow teachers to tape programs. Please check with your individual school board.
Some programs may also be available on the Curriculum Resource Bank, TVOntario's media-on-demand resource.

Three-part documentary begins Nov 16 at 10 PM
Black Coffee
How a simple bean has evolved from brain tonic to dominant global force is laid bare by Irene Angelico. As in her previous documentary, The Cola Conquest, Angelico laces her three-parter with fascinating trivia and sordid facts on how the beguiling brew had its roots in colonialism and spurred many a revolution. Coffee has an abysmal human rights and ecological record that continues today.
The series also explores the mass marketing of the ubiquitous beverage, the fair trade movement, and the emergence of the specialty coffee industry.
