In the gripping real narrative The Monk of Mokha, a young Yemeni American man reared in San Francisco harbours hopes of revitalising the age-old craft of Yemeni coffee but is forced to stay in Sana'a due to the unrest.
When twenty-four-year-old Mokhtar Alkhanshali learns about the amazing history of coffee and Yemen's pivotal role in it, he gets employed as a doorman. He departs from San Francisco and journeys far into his family homeland, seeing terraced farms nestled in the untamed mountains of the region and meeting grieving but resolute farmers. However, as the nation is engulfed in conflict and Saudi bombs pour down, Mokhtar must find a way out of Yemen without giving up on his goals or forsaking his people.
