This comes as a bit last minute, but for those who have been following the forced child labor issue, it’ll be worth catching.
This weekend CNN’s Freedom Project is premiering a documentary on child slavery on the cocoa plantations of the Ivory Coast: Chocolate’s Child Slaves. It should be a huge eye-opener on the scale of The Dark Side of Chocolate (2009). As you’ll see, the problem hasn’t gone away over the past three years since Dark Side‘s release.
The first showing is tonight, Friday, January 20, 2012: 8.00pm GMT (that’s London time) on CNN International, and in the US on Saturday, Jan 21 at 9pm (Eastern). You can catch it again on Sunday, Jan 22 at 11pm (Eastern).
Here’s the trailer:
