Fuzz pulls back the curtain on the grim reality of modern slavery, showing how force, deception, and psychological chains entrap over 50 million people worldwide today. Together, they take an unflinching look at the supply chains feeding our everyday lives—from seafood and electronics to West African cocoa fields where over a million children are subjected to forced labour. Fuzz shares how a coalition of activists and organisations developed the Chocolate Scorecard to move beyond "name and shame" tactics, holding global corporations accountable and fostering genuine transformation from farm to shelf.
