A new documentary aims to tell the story of chocolate, bean to bar.

Filmmaker Tim Shephard followed a group of craft-chocolate makers into the jungles of Peru as they sought to strengthen relationships with farmers and identify new varieties of cacao to introduce into the U.S. market.

Two chocolate makers featured in “Setting the Bar: A Craft Chocolate Origin Story” are Atlanta’s own Elaine Read and Matt Weyandt, the husband and wife team behind Xocolatl at Krog Street Market.
