Reclaiming Cocoa (2025)

Overview

In Ghana, cocoa is more than a crop – it’s the backbone of rural communities, the livelihood of millions, and a national treasure. Yet for over a century, the value of Ghana’s cocoa has been diverted up North, locked in a system shaped by colonial history and sustained by global inequities. “Reclaiming Cocoa” peels back the layers of this complex industry, taking viewers on a journey from the lush cocoa farms of Ghana to the polished chocolate shelves in Switzerland – whose famous chocolate consists mostly of Ghanaian beans.
