Du Chocolat Pour Sauver l'Amazonie

Set against the Amazon—the river of superlatives: the longest at 7,025 km, the most powerful, and the most indomitable, with no dam able to stand against it for hundreds of kilometres. Its waters thread through the largest tropical forest on Earth, the Amazon, the lungs of the earth. Departing from this gigantism, this documentary focuses on one of its smallest productions: the cocoa bean. Scientists, chocolatiers, producers and farmers—many of them—who, faced with the deforestation of this unique ecosystem, use this seed to recreate, on a small scale, human exploitations in harmony with nature. This film tells the story of the fight by those who decided to make cocoa the spearhead of environmental defense in Brazil.
