The Dark Side Of Chocolate
When I heard the name of the documentary I must say I expected something different to what it really was. The things that I saw presented in this documentary never even crossed my mind before. When purchasing chocolate products, who really stops to wonder about the background of the product. I will never look at chocolate the same again. What truly shocked me was the names of the companies that were ignoring what was going on. I could not believe that they would know that children were being abducted, transported and sold into slavery and not care. When I look at documentaries like this I truly have to wonder what is going on with humanity, is it that making money is now more important than our fellow humans? How could people support this, how could you turn a blind eye. I think looking at this documentary made me lose some faith in humanity. I would never understand how people could treat another human being as if they are nothing, as if they are less than human. This documentary raised many questions in my mind. I wonder if these children were white children being transported from America, these big chocolate companies will show so little concern? How is it that these companies are knowingly supporting child slavery and child abduction and they are not being punished? Is it because these are poor, black children from Africa that the problem is being ignored? Looking at this documentary made me look at chocolate differently. Every time I eat chocolate now I would wonder if an abducted child made it possible for me to be enjoying it.
