The following is with Miki Mistrati – a Danish investigative journalist who has spent a career uncovering cases of child slavery and the child labour rife throughout the chocolate supply chain.

He just released his new film on the matter titled β€˜Chocolate Wars’ which is available on Amazon Prime.

Something horrific at the core of chocolate is just how easily and reliably Miki uncovered horrific stories of child theft and child labour upon every visit he made to Africa’s west coast.
