‘From chocolate-criminal to do-gooder’
Yesterday I watched this documentary: ‘From chocolate-criminal to do-gooder’. (The English title reads: The chocolate case: changing one bar at the time.)
It shows where the chocolate we eat comes from: the cacao is picked by child slaves in Ivory Coast. And something I didn’t know: these children are trafficked from neighbouring countries like Mali and Burkina Faso to Ivory Coast.
It shows how difficult the chocolate industry finds it to change and to provide decent jobs in cacao harvesting, especially in Africa. And in the last 15 years hardly anything has changed…
Why you need to watch the film?
It gives hope that we can eventually change this horrible situation: There are people who gained worldwide publicity for the problem and people who are working on slave-free chocolate, with the aim to influence the entire chocolate industry to make all chocolate slave-free at last.
Watch all: Tony de film (also available with English subtitles)
