Narrated by Susan Sarandon, the movie centres around the work of “anarchist chocolatier” Mott Green and the Grenada Chocolate Company he co-founded in 1999. Offering an ethical and sustainable alternative to big biz chocolate, the Grenada Chocolate Company cuts out the middleman and the crap ingredients associated with so many of the big biz products. Ethics and sustainability aside, this worker-run cooperative also makes award winning, small batch fine chocolate using what’s considered to be some of the best cocoa available in the world. And even for viewers who could care less about chocolate (implausible as that seems), the kindly if iconoclastic Mott is a hoot of a hero with his friendly and frenetic demeanour. The green isle of Grenada is an enchantingly scenic backdrop too.
