Behind this tragedy, there lies a poverty. Behind the poverty, there is industrialization. Behind the industrialization, there is globalism. Globalism has been taking away the natives rich and happy life harmonized with nature, and has dragged the children our of their families into the endless forced labor. This film reminded me of what one journalist has said. He said that he had lived in Amazon with the natives very happily. Meanwhile, everywhere in the world, the corporations and governments offer those native tribes job for them to make money, saying that they can have better life buying whatever they want. But every time after the job is over and company is gone, only the extreme poverty is left. The people, who he lived with, knew what has been going in the world. Thats why they refused the job offers and had to fight back against the development itself. You might be able to see how arrogant for any of us to push the idea of globalism to those people. I felt sad to know the poverty in Africa when I was small and wondered why. Since then, the poverty seems to have gotten worse because the problem is in the system itself, which appears in this film as well. It is also each of our responsibility because we let the system be, knowing or unknowing, and let those corporations grow for years with this type of child labor. The big season for chocolate is coming soon. It may be better to choose the reliable companies to support the actions which monitor and give pressure to those corporations. This film was made in 2012. I think we still have to observe what the food industry is doing. If we dont change our way, this world will never be better. Im not sharing this with you so that you would just feel bad for those children or for this types of world issues. Knowing the childrens suffering somewhere else in the world, I just cant shrug my shoulders and say Well..., this is the system. This is it.. https://youtube/watch?v=7Vfbv6hNeng
