The issue - Children are getting smuggled across the boarder to collect cacao beans. This is located in different parts of Africa. Over 100 children have been rescued from the trafficking bus'. The children that have been smuggled are aged 7 to 15. All the children are working hard but majority of the children are not getting paid. Each child is worth 230 euros. The effect of this is on the children and also their parents. This could be because they get snatched from their homes or villages.
Why is this happening? - This could be happening because either their parents might not have anything to give to their children so they send them away, or they dont have enough workers so they smuggle kids.
What are the different perspectives around this problem - The perspective of the documentary maker: he was eager to uncover the secrets of cocoa farming. He was told that there were no children being smuggled to farm cocoa beans, until he found out the truth.
What is your opinion on this issue - This makes me feel uncomfortable because children are being forced against their will to work for smugglers.
