The Fair Trade teaser

The award-winning feature documentary The Fair Trade (2008) tells the story of Tamara Johnston who, devastated by the tragic death of her fiance, makes a bargain with God in exchange for a meaningful life. She and her twin sister Shelby join forces with brother-in-law Steven to start one of the first fair trade skincare companies—Anti-Body. Even as Tamara becomes a successful activist for human rights and social justice causes, despair over her loss remains unabated. As she nears the deadline of her bargain, a trip to Africa allows her to visit the fair trade co-op from which Anti-Body buys its organic shea butter. There, she finds a surprising answer to what is required of her in exchange for a sustainable life.

The Fair Trade continues to sell at FilmBaby and get rented on Netflix, as well as get shown in grass-roots events across the world. Community Channel in the UK has added it to their broadcast rotation in 2011.
