Semi-Toasted

About This Movie

So, 'Semi-Toasted' is this intriguing documentary that dives into the life of Puerto Rican coffee farmers. It's not just about coffee; it's about resilience. These farmers are struggling against beetles and other pests, and they’re using some pretty clever biological warfare. The tone is surprisingly upbeat, given the challenges they face. It’s a blend of humor and hard work, with the coffee itself almost acting like a character. The pacing is laid-back, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the coffee farms. The practical effects? Well, it’s all real, raw, and unfiltered. It's distinctive in how it mixes personal stories with broader agricultural themes—definitely has its own flavor, if you know what I mean.
