How the Chocolate Industry Still Profits from Child Labor | ENDEVR Documentary

Thank you for making this documentary to unveil the dark side of the chocolate industrial. On our side, we see “love” and “warm” through chocolate products commercials, but, in reality, the chocolate supply chain is cruel!

Definitely opened my eyes . I think about all the food wasted in my household and these young boys are literally working for free for years just to eat scraps. Smh We have got to do better, so sad.

Ya we have it so good in our more developed countries. We must all be more aware of these issues and do what we can to help the people who are less fortunate and also to stop over consuming for the sake of our planet.

Im not saying stop it completely. But these companies have to pay their workers better, so parents can make a livable wage instead of sending off their kids to work in these types of situations.

The smile of the child at the very end just melted my heart and gave me hope that the lives of these children will improve for the better. I hoped that the families would hire a teacher and that the son that the father educated would come back and teach those that could not continue their education. I was happy to see the families come together and pay the teacher so the children could continue their education, even though limited. I pray that these children ould have much better futures.

[@renegroulx7029]

The ending, when they said that the kids parents all chipped in to pay the teacher, those kids are considered lucky in that country because they get the priviledge of learning reading, writing math or whatever they teach there. It makes me more grateful for our countries education system.

[@DessertGeek]

Yes! We have got to get the word out on the state of chocolate, and get the large makers to step up! And support craft and bean to bar chocolate when you can! Because I wish they'd covered it more, since bean to bar chocolate has grown so much in the last few years, even including ways for folks to buy cacao directly from cooperatives like Uncommon Cacao or Meridian Cacao. (Which I absolutely recommend doing, they're great groups and Meridian even sells sustainably sourced sugar and vanilla!) You can read the reports, see what the farmers are being paid, and also get much better chocolate. We can and must do better, and I'm also so glad more options are out there now.

[@taylorbug9]

The guy isn't very sneaky. He says they offer a 50% markup for premium cocoa that's farmed sustainably. He didn't say that they refused to buy cocoa that's not farm sustainably or that uses child labor. He's just saying that they will offer more money for it if it's farm sustainably. Which from a business standpoint probably means that they don't buy any sustainably firmed Coco because it's more expensive for them as a company.

[@pietrojenkins6901]

A big salute to you. I watch your documentaries and the kind of work your team does is remarkable. They ask direct questions from the responsible authority. Kudos, keep doing the great work. I think we as consumers can be little more responsible by not buying from the notorious. That is where you come in for the knowledge and education. You have done your work. Now it is my job to work on the issue. I know, me alone will not make much difference. I can make others aware by sharing this documentary. That bit is in my hand. And I will work on it..

If anyone is interested Tony's Chocoloney is a great company that is tackling slavery and inequality in the Cocoa/Chocolate industry. Their chocolate is a fair bit more in price but for a very good reason, and it tastes good knowing that they're far more ethical!

[@TomRoes]

True, although they also have problems getting everything child labour & slave free, as it's sometimes very unclear which cacao is from where exactly.

[@hhjhj393]

[@wrenlittle8826]

An astounding piece of journalism. The last segment with the children has me in tears on top of the ache in my heart over the result of universal greed. While 200 children are crammed into a miniscule desolate room; with one tutor, provided with the blood of their parents, smiling and excited .. .. a growing movement of parents and 'concerned' citizens, in the US, are obsessed with CRT, imagined conspiratorial influences on their children resulting in book banning, fear of religious and racial elimination through education, etc. The list is too long from the self-indulgent self-righteous and sadly ignorant pampered un-educated masses. This is true education. To open our eyes and hearts to our own responsibility. May shame be a good teacher to me.

Sad to see that these amazing farmers are not compensated enough. There is no simple quick fix like not eating chocolates kr Boycotting products (it would make the matter worse).
