Chocolate of Peace depicts
the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó’s experiences of
resistance, via a journey through their processes of organic chocolate
production. From the seed to the product, the cacao is the narrative
thread that takes us through the Community’s stories of violence and
resilience, and their fight to remain neutral in the face of the
Colombian armed conflict.
This film offers a panorama of hope, proof
that despite great difficulties it is possible to sow peace through
human and economic relationships. It invites us to rethink our
relationship with food, to value the efforts of those who produce it,
and to build bridges between the victims of the armed conflict and other
sectors of global civil society.
