Some Like It Latte is a feature-length documentary on the customization of the American dream.
Some Like It Latte goes inside the lives of three baristas and three regular customers of a Starbucks coffee shop in Bethesda, MD - a wealthy, highly educated, mostly white suburb of Washington, DC. The locals are a homeless man who makes 60,000 dollars a year, a born-again-Christian mom, and a former PR executive turned social worker. The baristas are mostly non-white immigrants propelled by the Starbucks global revolution from their homes in Cameroon or El Salvador to the coffee shop on the corner of Woodmont Avenue and Norfolk Street across from the Tastee Diner, Veterans Park, and the Urban Country Designs store.
Entertaining and light-hearted, yet honest and incisive, Some Like It Latte shows how people customize their version of the American Dream much as they customize a Starbucks beverage.
