Synopsis
A film about a man’s fight against the chocolate giants and a billion-dollar industry that ruthlessly exploits illegal child labor. Twenty years ago, the largest cocoa producers signed an agreement to abolish child slavery. But nothing has happened and the use of child labor has only increased – all to keep prices down.
Press
“An illuminating call to arms… that veers between courtroom drama and investigative reporting to stunning effect.”
