"The Dark Side of Chocolate"

In 2001 when the news of child slavery on the Ivory Coast reached the world of chocolate consumers, the cocoa industry received tons of negative publicity. Senator Tom Harkin and Representative Eliot Engel of Congress tended to the issue by proposing an addition to an existing agriculture bill suggesting the use of a federal system to approve and label cocoa products as slave free. The House of Representatives passed the idea and created a potential disaster for many known chocolate manufacturers, such as Cargill, Mars, Hershey’s, Nestle, Saf-Cacao, and many more. The industry fought back against the legislation in order to avoid having to label their products with “no child labor” and voluntarily agreed to end child labor on their farms by the 2005. However, when 2005 came, the cocoa industry did not follow the terms of the agreement, and a new deadline to end the abusive and forced child slavery was set for 2008. The same situation occurred again in 2008 until yet another deadline was set for two years later in 2010.

Nearly ten years after the initial exposure of child slavery in the cocoa industry, not much has changed.  The 2010 documentary, “The Dark Side of Chocolate” exposes the child labor in the Ivory Coast and how it fuels the world’s chocolate industry. It documents interviews of proponents and opponents of this child abuse, and also shows hidden camera footage from the harsh conditions of cocoa plantations. While richer countries simply purchase and enjoy chocolate products, “The Dark Side of Chocolate” shows the reality for the African children involved in the production of chocolate.
