Chocolate Road (2021)

Chocolate Road (2021). Chocolate Road: Directed by Tanya Chuturkova. With Frances Louise Bekele, Joe Cullen Brown, Martin Christy, Elvin Ovidio Ávila Flores. Three renowned chocolatiers – Maribel Lieberman, Susumu Koyama and Mikkel Friis-Holm – take us through the process of craft chocolate-making all the way from the tree to the final chocolate piece. On their journey, each of them finds how important it is to know the roots of their primer material – the cacao bean, and how they can highly impact the lives of the people involved in the chocolate production chain.

“Itu0026#39;s mostly about the u0026quot;world-renowned chocolatiers.u0026quot; A rule of thumb for me – avoid movies and documentaries that describe the plot as someoneu0026#39;s u0026quot;Journeyu0026quot; with a capital J. In this case, there are three people who mostly love to talk about themselves. The subject of chocolate hardly matters because theyu0026#39;re so enamored with all the attention. It was halfway through and they were still strolling around jungles looking at pods and nodding wisely, then of course talking earnestly to the camera about their Journeys. Of course, the only REAL chocolate available is in their shops – nothing we can buy at the store.”
