Chocolate of Peace (2016)
The documentary ‘Chocolate of Peace’ was not made only to sell more Chocopaz, the organic chocolate produced by the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó, sold in Bogotá. We hope that the film provokes a reflection that goes beyond a single product, to help us understand how our consumer power is an absolutely political power, and how we can contribute to building peace through our food choices. But we also think it’s great to contribute to the Peace Community buying their chocolate!
