Documentary tells the story of three journalists who uncover child slavery in the chocolate industry.

Produced by BlazHoffski/Dahl TV, the film tells the story of three journalists (Maurice Dekkers, Teun van de Keuken, and Roland Durong) who uncovered child slavery in the chocolate industry and tried to persuade large corporations to end the practice.
