Life is about choices. You choose to study, you choose where to live, you choose what to eat, you choose what to buy, you choose where to go for holiday. Throughout your life,`you choose`, which means your choice is your life, and it is what the world has become. You can also chose to act with your everyday choices,and prevent global issues such as hunger, poverty, discrimination, diseases, child labour, and environmental crises.

The Dark Side of Chocolate
In the normal live of a family with a regular and adequate income, the parents go to work and care of their children. The kids have time to play, learn important things in school and enjoy there lives. Just be children.
Unfortunately not every child has such luck. Over 215 Million children worldwide have to walk long distances, carry heavy weights and work for long hours every day. These children are mostly under the age of 15 and the child labour damages theire physical, emotional, social and intellectual growth.
Journalists like Miki Mistrati are aware of this problem. They want to investigate rumors, reveal backgrounds of child labour and inform other people all over the world about the social injustices.
His Movie "The Dark Side of Chocolate" shows, if the favorite chocolate we eat, has a bitter taste.
