Livelyhood Host Will Durst wings his way around the world to meet a few ordinary Americans trying to make the global marketplace a little more fair for all of us. A Seattle chef finds a creative way to help feed the hungry in Siberia; a Vermont-based coffee importer shares more of the profits with Central American coffee growers through Fair Trade; a union organizer helps improve labor practices for factory workers in Cambodian sweatshops; and a New England shoe maker finds a way to save manufacturing jobs at home, while also turning a profit.
