Nothing Like Chocolate
Finding hope in an industry entrenched in enslaved child labor, irresponsible corporate greed, and tasteless, synthetic products, NOTHING LIKE CHOCOLATE reveals the compelling story of Mott Green, founder of the Grenada Chocolate Company. Relocating from Oregon to Grenada in 1998, Mott Green set out to make chocolate using recycled antique equipment. The neophyte entrepreneur leased 100 acres of land from a neighboring estate and established an organic chocolate-making cooperative. NOTHING LIKE CHOCOLATE looks at this revolutionary experiment, focusing on how solar power, appropriate technology and activism merge to create a business whose values are fairness, community, sustainability and high quality. "We"re doing this for idealistic reasons: we are activists and our goal is to create a true worker-owned cooperative." From currency to candy, chocolate reflects a rich history saturated with sacred ritual, endorphin highs, hip anti-oxidants, exotic sensuality and high quality luxury. NOTHING LIKE CHOCOLATE adds new depth to the stories of chocolate.
