    Desc: Mede Mogelijk Gemaakt...: Directed by Lars Gierveld, Jochem Pinxteren. A film about the circumstances of cocoa farmers in Western Africa. The makers (Lars Gierveld and Jochem Pinxteren) try, in an extraordinary and wrenching construction with the big cocoa industry Nestlé, to do 'sustainable' business in Ghana with farmers and thus encounter the limits, possibilities and oddities of fair, sustainable trade. It's no poverty porn; cocoa farmers are their serious business partners and conversations are therefore real and raw. 'Mede Mogelijk Gemaakt...' shows the struggle and self mockery of the makers/new entrepreneurs with their 'white savior' complex. Who are they to come up with ideas to increase income of farmers in West Africa?
