Filmmaker Brandon Dickerson celebrates World Cup Cafe and Fair Trade Market's 20th anniversary with benefit screening of Sironia
In 2006, the World Cup Café and Fair Trade Market opened in what’s now called the Jubilee Center. For the past 20 years, its provided a place for Wacoans to enjoy breakfast, lunch and handmade crafts while supporting job training and Mission Waco’s homelessness ministries.
To help celebrate that anniversary, and bring in some extra funds for upgrades, World Cup is hosting a special screening of the film, Sironia, Sunday at 3:30pm followed by a question & answer session with director Brandon Dickerson, and his co-writer Wes Cunningham.
Brandon joined the show to talk about Sironia, World Cup, and the Fair Trade Movement.
