In the early 1900s, chocolate tycoon, Milton Hershey, founded the Hershey School for fatherless poor boys, with the intention of instilling them with Christian values, a hard work ethic, and the promise of a better future. But all was not what it seemed.The Chocolate Trust tells a different story about the school – a story of pupils who worked as indentured laborers for the Hershey Company; a Trust that has raked in billions in endowments, though the money is diverted from the intended beneficiaries – the children – and put into Hersheypark, and a new golf course; and the recent history of the school – two decades that have seen scandal, internal strife, politics, sexual abuse, soaring board compensation, and a revolving door of poor youths.
