AFDxDoc: The Chocolate Case
Event Information
About this event
Ever wondered how Tony Chocolonely’s was born? Find out at our AFDxDoc screening of their documentary: The Chocolate Case.
A group of young Dutch journalists uncover child labour in the cocoa production chain. This triggers them to try to persuade large corporations to end unethical practices. Scorned and rejected by the industry, and having sought in vain to become imprisoned for their cause, the trio sets out on a mission to develop the first ‘slave-free’ chocolate bar known as ‘Tony’s Chocolonely’ – now one of Holland’s leading chocolate brands.
Run time: 90 min
Language: Dutch, English, French, and German with English subtitles

Academics for Development is a growing, non-profit organisation located in Utrecht (affiliated with the Utrecht University), Leuven, Louvain-La-Neuve, Stellenbosch and Montreal. The organisation offers students an opportunity to get to grips with social entrepreneurship and consultancy through multidisciplinary projects. These projects are focussed on solving real-life problems in the development sector in cooperation with a company, local start-up or NGO. Since its foundation in 2011 in Leuven, we have completed 46 projects in Asia, Africa, Latin-America and Europe. Along with our projects, AFD organises local events for students from the Utrecht University and other interested individuals, concerning social entrepreneurship and sustainability.
