Undercover in Ghana, this enlightening documentary looks at one of the world's best-loved chocolate brands and reveals for the first time child labour in its supply chain.

Children as young as ten are filmed carrying heavy loads, working with machetes and enduring hazardous work on plantations to supply cocoa beans to Cadburys through its ethical programme Cocoa Life. 

We hear from Cocoa Life farmers who earn less than £2 a day and children who have been injured harvesting its beans whilst working long hours in the searing heat. 

This investigation will raise uncomfortable questions for Cadbury which promotes the ethical source of its beans by stamping its Cocoa Life logo on nearly all of its chocolate – including the millions of chocolate eggs we consume at Easter.
