The film was released in 2010 and directed by Miki Mistrati and U. Roberto Romano, aiming to investigate the use of child labor and child trafficking in the chocolate industry, primarily focusing on the Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire), the world's largest producer of cocoa.
Synopsis
The documentary begins with the filmmakers setting out to explore the cocoa plantations in the Ivory Coast. They aim to verify the rumors and allegations of child labor and trafficking. Throughout their journey, they encounter various obstacles, including reluctance from major chocolate company representatives to discuss the issue and the danger posed by venturing into certain areas known for trafficking.
The film reveals that despite pledges by major chocolate companies to eradicate child labor from their supply chains, the practice is still widespread. It showcases interviews with children who have been trafficked and are forced to work on cocoa plantations under harsh conditions, without pay, and often separated from their families.
Impact

Following the release of the documentary, there was an increased demand for ethically produced chocolate and a push for companies to take more responsibility for their supply chains.
Reception
