Halloween may be past, but chocolate is still on everyone Filmmakers Miki Mistrati and U. Robin Romano traveled to cocoa farms in the Ivory Coast and what they found was dark.
Few improvements have been made on the ground and egregious labor rights abuses continue, years after major chocolate companies committed to ending this exploitation.
In partnership with the filmmakers and our allies, Green America is organizing a National Week of Dark Side of Chocolate Screenings. From October 23rd through the 31st 2010, concerned consumers across the county will host events in their home to share the truth about chocolate.
Each Kit contains:

1 Dark Side of Chocolate DVD
1 Guide to Fair Trade
Materials for background information
Questions for discussion
