The Chocolate War
20 years ago, the world’s largest cocoa producers signed an agreement to abolish child slavery – since then the problem has only gotten worse. American labor rights lawyer Terry Collingsworth stepped up over a decade ago to hold Nestle and Cargill legally accountable for their role in promoting child slavery on the cocoa plantations of Cote D’Ivoire. Now the case has reached the US Supreme Court. Terry and two law students travel to Cote D’Ivoire to gather evidence. What unfolds is a suspenseful journey through Cocoa plantations, distribution centers and a government-supported campus set up to rehabilitate child slaves that’s pristine and empty. They uncover the “smoking gun,” will it be enough to convict two influential US corporations?
