[Trailer] Nothing Like Chocolate: The Story of the Grenada Chocolate Company

 

The colourful packaging stands out amongst the confectionary shelves of selected supermarkets and coffee shops alike. Nicknamed the ‘Spice Island’ for its large export of nutmeg, Grenada has a place on the map and in the hearts of chocolate fans worldwide as the Grenada Chocolate company is based in a small factory in the parish of St Patricks.

Although I never visited the factory on my last visit to Grenada, it was always a reference point when driving back to my grandma’s house. Using only the finest organic ingredients, their packing and even the ink they print with is eco-friendly.

 

About the film

Deep in the rain forests of Grenada, anarchistchocolatier Mott Green seeks solutions to the problems of a ravaged global chocolate industry. Solar power, employee shareholding and small-scale antique equipment turn out delicious chocolate in the hamlet of Hermitage, Grenada.

Finding hope in an an industry entrenched in enslaved child labor, irresponsible corporate greed, and tasteless, synthetic products, Nothing like Chocolate reveals the compelling story of the relentless Mott Green, founder of the Grenada Chocolate Company (GCC).

With a suitcase full of chocolate bars, Mott boards a plane to persuade chocolate distributors in the UK and the USA that Grenada Chocolate Company makes the best chocolate in the world. 65,000 chocolate bars in stylish new packaging, stashed in air-conditioned storage, await their destiny.

From currency to candy, chocolate reflects a rich history saturated with sacred ritual, endorphin highs, hip anti-oxidants, exotic sensuality and high quality luxury. Nothing Like Chocolate adds new depth to the stories of chocolate.
