| PANORAMA - CHOCOLATE: THE BITTER TRUTH - WEDNESDAY, 24 MARCH 9PM ON BBC ONE
Hi there,
CHOCOLATE: THE BITTER TRUTH
Tonight in a Panorama special we investigate where our chocolate comes from. We spend more on chocolate each year than investors spend on gold - but as Easter approaches, how much do we really know about where it comes from or how it's made?
Panorama reporter Paul Kenyon goes undercover as a cocoa trader in West Africa and discovers children as young as seven working long hours on cocoa farms, helping to make the chocolate we love so much.
He buys a tonne of cocoa made with child labour, and sees how easy it is to sell it into the supply chain which leads to our high streets.
He also helps rescue a 12 year old boy - trafficked across borders - to pick cocoa as a modern-day slave and reunites him with his mother. For the first time, we meet the kids who harvest our cocoa but who have never tasted chocolate.
Panorama, Chocolate: The Bitter Truth is on BBC One, Wednesday 24 March at 9pm.
You can find out more on the Panorama website.
That's all from us for now. Remember, you can keep up to date with Panorama on our website where you can watch Panorama programmes from the last 12 months.
