FAIRTRADE
a journey through the heart of cocoa
THE IDEA
We aimed to create an honest documentary around FairTrade cocoa, its impact on local communities, and the implications of chocolate production. The mission was to inspire viewers about the significance and challenges of ethical cocoa farming.
THE CHALLENGE
Our cameras followed the entire ecosystem of FairTrade cocoa - from the local farmers tending in their fields, to intimate sit-downs with stakeholders. More than just capturing the process, our aim was to understand the whole story.
THE JOURNEY
While the landscapes were breathtaking and the people extremely kind, the journey was not without its touching moments. Encounters with local women showcased the power of empowerment, and conversations with farmers revealed the often harsh realities they face.
The community’s rich culture and traditions added layers to our story, ensuring viewers get an authentic experience.
THE IMPACT
The documentary aired on national television 'EvenaarTV'. It humanized the chocolate we consume and made the viewer aware of the challenges in the industry. By giving voice to every stakeholder, it became a reminder of the collective efforts needed for a more equitable world.
