  • The Sugar Curse: The Dark Reality Behind the World’s Sweetest Addiction

    The Sugar Curse: The Dark Reality Behind the World’s Sweetest Addiction
    Apr 27 2026
    Tracing the history of sugar, this documentary explores its role in fueling colonization, the rise of the industrial revolution, and the perpetuation of systemic racial inequality. Experts examine how the global sugar economy evolved from the 15th-century plantation model into a modern industry that continues to shape labor practices, diets, and international economic dependencies.

    Combining powerful testimony, rare archival material, expert interviews, and on-the-ground reporting, the series exposes the true cost of our centuries-long obsession with sugar, while at the same time spotlighting communities fighting to reclaim land, dignity and fair means of production.
