Presenter Hazel Lindsey travels from England to West Africa, to investigate the use of child labour on cocoa plantations in Ghana. She travels to the village of Akyem Ofoase, about five hours from the capital Accra, to meet young cocoa pickers and find out what their life is like. Here she meets eleven鈥搚ear old Patrick, who shows her the nursery where he grows cocoa plants which he hopes to sell to farmers. Hazel is also taken to the cocoa plantation owned by Patrick's uncle, where she interviews children workers. Poor rural families rely on their children to work picking cocoa pods with machetes. This is dangerous work, where injuries from the sharp machetes are common and the dangers of snakebites can occur at any time. Hazel discovers children who enjoy working together and who have aspirations of a better future through education.
