They were invited for a viewing of the Honduran Film: "Café con Sabor a mi Tierra" (translates as Blood, Passion & Coffee) which has been entered into the 2022 SICA Film Festival. Directed by Carlos Membreño, it was selected as the Honduran entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 92nd Academy Awards and tells a story inspired by real events, which revolves around a coffee producing family (from Marcala, Honduras) in which their harvest is impacted by the plague of rust which starts a chain of tragedies and conflicts that challenge their family bond.
