NOTHING LIKE CHOCOLATE – Trailer and Interviews

NOTHING LIKE CHOCOLATE tells the moving story of anarchist chocolatier, Mott Green, founder of the Grenada Chocolate Company, as he pursues his unique vision to create the best chocolate in the world, ethically and taste-wise. Along with farmers such as Nelice Stewart, this tree-to-bar chocolate factory — the smallest in the world — turns out delicious creations unknown to a world saturated with industrially produced cocoa, much of it produced by exploited child labor.
