Professor Beth Simmons will be introducing and contextualizing the documentary for the audience before we start. Dinner will be served. Summary: The Chocolate Case tells the true story about three Dutch journalists who uncovered massive human rights violations happening in cocoa plantations in West-Africa. Scorned and rejected by the industry, and having sought in vain to become imprisoned for their cause, the trio sets out on a mission to develop the first ‘slave-free’ chocolate bar known as ‘Tony’s Chocolonely’ – now one of Holland’s leading chocolate brands.
