Today, while people around the world are enjoying the chocolate, some children in Ivory Coast and Ghana have to work in the cocoa industry even without pay. These children do not have the ability to accept an education and they are trafficked to do the work.

For instance, in one scene, the journalist talks to the local officer about what he finds about child labour, nevertheless, the government officer insists there was no child in Ivory Coast. As the government officers, they should search about this issue and take action to save those children in peril. Hence, this phenomenon is unfair to the children since they are denied their rights to study by the cocoa industry which will affect their lives, and people should work with the government together to help those children in the dangerous situation.

This is what inspired Mars to create the candy-coated chocolate in 1941. The company’s famous slogan, “Melts in your mouth, not in your hand”, reflect this concept.
