I love how this documentary never pointed a finger on who's the bad guy. It showed the different people involved in chocolate and let the audience decide on what to think and feel. Refreshing format! Thank you!
those workers should storm the "taskmaster's" place and behead them after every kid who sprayed chemicals passed out and many later died....ugh why dont people stand up
Potatius Ever since I had Swiss and German chocolate, I haven't been able to eat American chocolate. The cheapest grocery store German chocolate is league's above Hershey.
Jessica Walling I was really surprised when I tasted American chocolate. I expected the branded stuff to be good. It's the cheapest cardboard tasting stuff I've ever had.
please don't think that's what we as a nation do with our chocolate. I live in the same province as Mr. and Mrs. Hipster and I've never seen that before.
Candy Floss If you get American chocolate off the shelf it taste like dirt, if you go to a nice chocolatier you can find chocolate that rivals the best in the world. Gone are the days when large candy companies put quality into their products.
4:00 using stone to grind the beans leaves little bits of stone in the powder. When you eat that it grinds down the enamel on your teeth. It's terrible for your teeth to do it that way.
Your channel consistently provides very informative documentaries that both enlighten and inspire one to delve deeper into the subject. This one showed me a great deal that I was previously unaware of. Thank you for continuing to share excellent content that provokes thought and conversation. In my opinion, you stand among the best that RUclips has to offer. I hope you continue to expand your viewership, and to present this kind of quality content for a very long time to come. 🇨🇦
That was a beautiful juxtaposition of the different perspectives in the chocolate business. And that heartbreaking moment when the African boys tasted chocolate for the first time.
"Leif (leaf?) Artemis." Look at those hipster parents, lol. Wonder why they didn't name their kid something even *more* pretentious! Edit: they say the kid's name repeatedly, in a way that you just know that they're just sooo proud of the stupid pretentious name they picked for their kid. I knew a couple who named their (American) baby boy etienne, and they were the exact same damn way.
Daisy I'm glad I'm not the only one who found that guy annoying! And yes.. .what a stupid pretentious name. They have guaranteed him to be bullied! 😂😂😂
I loved when the young men who worked so hard to harvest the cacao beans finally got to taste the fruit of their labor after all this time of suffering and struggling and not even realizing what cacao is used for. So sad what so many go through, and that poor sweet baby lamb walking with a damaged leg really saddened me.
I remember watching a BBC documentary about this. I stopped purchasing a large majority of these companies like Godiva Ghirardelli, companies that make candies like Unilever .. etc. Given that I'm vegan too, doesn't make it a struggle since most vegan chocolate (from trader Joe's, sprouts, TJ Maxx...) are fair trade :]
"Jaya Jaya Jaya namo" this is a Hindu mantra. Wth? It's not from the Amazon, which is in another continent entirely! Even the other mantras are all Hindu.
Sweet Jesus! Someone get Frenchie a hairnet! Ew, those Canadians are SUPER creepy. I especially loved the part where he rubbed the chocolate 'skin care' on her upper thigh. Barf.
and someone tell americans (again) they are not the centre of the world and no, (even) your massproduction chocolate brands are not even close to european ones.
that's what I thought! hahaha they are like tall, cringey Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein ... Like this is a joke right? They take themselves so seriously that you can't take them seriously
I don't understand the father who said "I wanted to go look for them, but our village doesn't have the money for that" so you just stopped looking for your children because of money?
I haven't seen the whole thing but who would want to buy chocolate of people who let their toddler play with knives in the kitchen while they make it and people who don't ever wash their hands, they wouldn't have brown chocolate hands if they did. Absolutely disgusting.
I believe Ron Artemis studied in India for many years so he's chanting these things based off of his personal life experience not because he thinks its from South America.
* Concerned about deforestation by cacao industry * Decides to draw attention to this by making gigantic chocolate sculptures which in own words are going to "waste away," presumably without being eaten
Not sure how many of you made it to the end, but when the Africans try chocolate for the first time at the end is the heaviest thing ever especially after the chocolate hippies and the french dude. Props to Michael Allcock for messing with my brain
Love how the Purple suit Lady from Hershey didn't mention, they moved many of their chocolate factories to Mexico...I remember when they did this there was a huge outrage from the locals in our area. Many many people lost their jobs from the factories. Really sad.
The documentary was quite messy at times and I often lost interest, but the end scenes were very powerful! Also, the... Canadian chocolate block... looked more like pumpernickel or Dutch peperkoek. It was rather worrying.
This has to be one of the most Godawful, bizarre chocolate documentaries ever made. The only reason I saw even half of it was because my dog fell asleep on me and I didn't want to wake him up.
I watch this documentary few year ago but it was a different edit(with all the same people in it), it show how the Canadian guy getting in big trouble at the airport cause cacao gives a false negative to drug testing kits, any idea if there is another version of it. I wonder if they dumb it down when it went to nextflix the one I saw was more aggressive about the injustice and it kink painted a really bad picture for the chocolate industry.
amazing how Your-A-Peeins claim chocolate, vanilla and sugar as their own in spite that it came from the Pre-Columbian, Mejicà-Aztecan and Mayan Civilizations.
23:00-23:10 😧🥺😢 *I HOPE someone who sees this will recognize them and help to bring them home!* 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 29:30-28:40 - *Excuse me, while I track down what ice cream company it was that commissioned THAT as a chocolate sculpture piece. (And why!)* 😳🥴😬
Cadbury is rubbish, there's really not much difference between Hersheys and Cadbury both are poor quality sugary, vegolate. At least Lindt chocolate contains a good amount of actual cocoa and uses cocoa butter instead of vegetable oil.
"At least Lindt chocolate contains a good amount of actual cocoa and uses cocoa butter instead of vegetable oil." Lindt uses palm oil jackass, same as cadbury.
+B You have no idea what you are talking about and have only made yourself look like a jackass. Neither Cadbury nor Lindt use palm oil in their plain chocolate. Cadbury only use palm oil in their products that contain fondants and caramel fillings. Plain Lindt chocolate uses cocoa butter and does not contain any palm oil at all.
Awesomeness798 Minecraft and More wow, second on a vid that will probably get, at most, ten thousand views! You're amazing. I bet your parents are so proud.
That is the way of life on that continent so why disrupt the flow of things for the sake of making us feel sorry for those people. At least they are making a living.
What do tribal ways have to do with being forced to work basically for free as slaves on cacao plantations run by a $98 billion industry? What constitutes a "savage", and where did you live among them?

The Hershey employees seemed creepy, like they'd had lobotomies.
I was thinking the same thing... their like robots
24:44 Dandy Mott from AHS Freakshow?
Reminds me of Disney employees.
ever been to Hershey? No need to wonder, of you have.
yeah they are definitely brain dead.
as a swiss person, I screamed out in pain when I first saw how horrible that canadian stuff was.

Video Synopsis: Look at how awesome chocolate is! Btw, it's produced by child slavery and the world is horrible...Have a great day!!

That's the first thing that popped into my head when I saw that. Ewww, gritty.
The two hipsters from canada cant be real it feels like a SNL skit.
William Green lol ikr

"this is purple chocolate Jesus"
I'm naming my ferret that

Very good story. The contrasting experiences were unsettling.

.what a stupid pretentious name. They have guaranteed him to be bullied! 😂😂😂
Let them be proud then
😂😂
Daisy Who pooped in your bowl of chocolates this morning?
I knew of a kid named Storm!
I loved when the young men who worked so hard to harvest the cacao beans finally got to taste the fruit of their labor after all this time of suffering and struggling and not even realizing what cacao is used for. So sad what so many go through, and that poor sweet baby lamb walking with a damaged leg really saddened me.
Hershey's tastes bad to me, but there've been some higher end chocolates tasted pretty bad too. Either way, I cannot live without chocolate:).
Which chocolate not to buy. The one with gloveless emplyees with sleeves up.
The family at 5:30 is so weird...Yah bruh...we're all natural bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhs
lol, love that unrelated bit about him being 2 points away from having to drive illegally.
I remember watching a BBC documentary about this. I stopped purchasing a large majority of these companies like Godiva Ghirardelli, companies that make candies like Unilever .. etc. Given that I'm vegan too, doesn't make it a struggle since most vegan chocolate (from trader Joe's, sprouts, TJ Maxx...) are fair trade :]
Excuse me, I'm VEEEGUN.
They are definitely eating the "special" brownies.
"Jaya Jaya Jaya namo" this is a Hindu mantra. Wth? It's not from the Amazon, which is in another continent entirely! Even the other mantras are all Hindu.
I haven't watched the video yet but the title just seems so overdramatically dark and mysterious and i love it
Am i the only one who thinks that the super American (or canadian?!) chocolate hippie couple is super cringey? ugh i just can't D:
Yeah they are creepy. ^^|||
The husband creeps me more than the wife..like he will jump out form your mirror any time..
Likewise.
Especially with that little clip of the "chocolate skin care product" ... Awkward :0 And her dress is really low :0
Ontario is in Canada
Holy crap, the couple in Canada are so pretentious that I had to mute them.
Likewise. Just find the wife not appropriate or trying to seduce the viewers. Geeez!
14:33 Eeeek! Squatch footage!
Anne-droid lmao 😁
Sweet Jesus! Someone get Frenchie a hairnet! Ew, those Canadians are SUPER creepy. I especially loved the part where he rubbed the chocolate 'skin care' on her upper thigh. Barf.
double barf!! swear I kinda threw up in my throat a little at that Part Lol
and someone tell americans (again) they are not the centre of the world and no, (even) your massproduction chocolate brands are not even close to european ones.
Excellent doc, thank you for the upload.
That Canadian couple is straight out of Portlandia.
that's what I thought! hahaha they are like tall, cringey Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein ... Like this is a joke right? They take themselves so seriously that you can't take them seriously
Can I be honest here. Just the thought of hipster chocolate makes me sick.
I don't understand the father who said "I wanted to go look for them, but our village doesn't have the money for that" so you just stopped looking for your children because of money?
this doc is absolutely well made.. I like the storytelling suspense, Nolan-esque
I'm going to need chocolate real real soon
Great entertainment.Thanks for sharing,shared.
I haven't seen the whole thing but who would want to buy chocolate of people who let their toddler play with knives in the kitchen while they make it and people who don't ever wash their hands, they wouldn't have brown chocolate hands if they did. Absolutely disgusting.
The raw chocolate couple look like brother and sister.
Vibhuti is ash. What world are they living in? "During the Vedic period, these hymns came about in the Indian subcontinent. Not in Souh America.
Thank you for saying it
I believe Ron Artemis studied in India for many years so he's chanting these things based off of his personal life experience not because he thinks its from South America.
I love that chocolate guy. He is so passionate!
Queen Fettuccine you are gorgeous😍😍😍
I prefer English chocolate!!!!
Wow.. Nadine has a great...... personalitits.
L M F A O !

the chick in the purple was selling the company so hard lmao you could tell its the same thing she says at every tour she gives.
Why on earth would someone name there kid leaf, wtf??
shennel-holt THE FAM-GIMMY KISS ....Leif. It's Scandanavian
Never heard of Leif Erikson, eh? He's only pretty famous if you paid attention in 6th grade... Still an awful name for a Canadian kid.
Kardashian Do the same ;) sad...
* Concerned about deforestation by cacao industry
* Decides to draw attention to this by making gigantic chocolate sculptures which in own words are going to "waste away," presumably without being eaten
was glad to see another pointed that out!
Saw this video, and decided to watch it while eating M&Ms.😏

Why are they not wearing hair nets while working with all that chocolate?
😬I dont eat chocolate that much but this video makes me want to eat some.
wow, they had never had chocolate before....crazy
Milton Hershey. The Sweetest Man that ever lived.
The documentary was quite messy at times and I often lost interest, but the end scenes were very powerful!
Also, the... Canadian chocolate block... looked more like pumpernickel or Dutch peperkoek. It was rather worrying.
Oh dear look at those very young parents looking tremendously aged!!!
Is hershey a town??
Yeah.
pls can someone tell me what is the african music is called
I love chocolate
This has to be one of the most Godawful, bizarre chocolate documentaries ever made. The only reason I saw even half of it was because my dog fell asleep on me and I didn't want to wake him up.
Ron and Nadine are freaks who names a kid Leaf....
Their sons name is Leif which is a more common name in Scandinavian countries.
I watch this documentary few year ago but it was a different edit(with all the same people in it), it show how the Canadian guy getting in big trouble at the airport cause cacao gives a false negative to drug testing kits, any idea if there is another version of it. I wonder if they dumb it down when it went to nextflix the one I saw was more aggressive about the injustice and it kink painted a really bad picture for the chocolate industry.
That was kind of a messy doc. Not a fan of it. And also slavery is pretty much still a thing, there's just a middleman now.
well, this just made me BARF! i mean like ugh, why i loved chocolte so much but when i saw this im like Wtf
That French guy has a ridiculous car!
I love dark chocolate, my mom says it's the healthiest
Blood Chocolate. Where's Leo?
Hershey's crappy "chocolate" no longer draws the populace, installs Knott's Berry Farm rides and animal prison for entertainment dollars.
Lol more thumbs up^^^^^^^^
I wanna know how much is 100,000 francs per year is!?
209 dollars OMW!
chris hansen should investigate this hersheys ceo.
I hope you gave them money as well as the chocolate bar.

purple chocolate jesus? what?
I live less than an hour away from Hershey chocolate world! I go every summer and winter! It's awesome and I highly recommend it!
Mikayla Myers Is the chocolate sample u get from there a little or is it like the size of a Hershey bar?
Jesus Christ! This Canadian couple literally encapsulated everything I hate about Hipsters Also, how old are they?! 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
in their 40s
Why ruin a decent documentary with the scam artist David Wolfe?
amazing how Your-A-Peeins claim chocolate, vanilla and sugar as their own in spite that it came from the Pre-Columbian, Mejicà-Aztecan and Mayan Civilizations.
What are you even talking about?
Chocolate from the booty and the third eye? first thought that popped in my mind waa the brown eye. thats enough RUclips for me tonight.

OH WERES THE BUGS 🐜
That couple really wish they were the indigenous people. Get a grip lol!
Everyone is indigenous to somewhere.
I want a Hershey's bar so badly right now..
Hershey has nothing on Australian made Cadbury chocolate. A glass and a half of milk in every block, so smooth 🙂
Cadbury is rubbish, there's really not much difference between Hersheys and Cadbury both are poor quality sugary, vegolate. At least Lindt chocolate contains a good amount of actual cocoa and uses cocoa butter instead of vegetable oil.
Father Bertolucci cadbury still tastes good but youre right
"At least Lindt chocolate contains a good amount of actual cocoa and uses cocoa butter instead of vegetable oil." Lindt uses palm oil jackass, same as cadbury.
+B You have no idea what you are talking about and have only made yourself look like a jackass. Neither Cadbury nor Lindt use palm oil in their plain chocolate. Cadbury only use palm oil in their products that contain fondants and caramel fillings. Plain Lindt chocolate uses cocoa butter and does not contain any palm oil at all.
Father Bertolucci I've tried Cadbury made from the UK and etc. and it was horrible! but we make it with milk unlike anyone else

Oh... your being mean? ☹️
That is the way of life on that continent so why disrupt the flow of things for the sake of making us feel sorry for those people. At least they are making a living.
Gerald Flanders "that continent" are you sincerely that uneducated to where you think the entire continent is based on a plantation economy??
I live on "that continent" and this is not the only way of life here. There are over 50 nations, some rich and some poor.
What do tribal ways have to do with being forced to work basically for free as slaves on cacao plantations run by a $98 billion industry? What constitutes a "savage", and where did you live among them?
Gerald Flanders to bring awareness
I know what tribalism is and it is not what you described in your reply, you're just listing what you think is wrong with poor black people.
His wife is hot
Such sad stories from Africa
