HERSHEY

Hershey Tells the Inspiring True Story Behind America's Chocolate Empire

Before Hershey became one of the most recognizable names in chocolate, it belonged to a man who refused to give up on his dreams.

And his greatest achievement wasn't necessarily the candy.

Hershey is a biographical drama exploring the remarkable life of Milton S. Hershey, the entrepreneur who transformed repeated business failures into one of America's most successful chocolate companies.

But behind the familiar candy bars and chocolate kisses is a story about perseverance, love and an extraordinary commitment to helping others.

Milton's journey to success was anything but easy.

After experiencing bankruptcy and several failed business ventures, he continued pursuing his dream of building a successful candy company.

His determination eventually paid off.

Through innovation, hard work and an unwavering belief in his vision, Milton built the foundation of what would become the Hershey chocolate empire.

Along the way, he found love with Kitty Hershey, whose influence would ultimately shape his legacy in ways neither could have imagined.

Together, they enjoyed the rewards of his success while beginning to envision something far greater than personal wealth.

But when Kitty became seriously ill, their future took an unexpected turn.

And the couple's greatest dream began to change.

Rather than simply building a fortune, Milton and Kitty became determined to use their wealth to create opportunities for children who needed a better start in life.

Their vision would help establish a lasting charitable legacy centered on providing education, stability and opportunity for children in need.

Produced by Dandelion Media in partnership with the Hershey organizations, the film explores the personal sacrifices and relationships behind one of America's most recognizable brands.

Hershey is more than the story of a successful businessman.

It's about a man who learned that the true measure of success isn't simply how much wealth you accumulate, but what you choose to do with it.

Milton Hershey built an empire with chocolate. But his greatest legacy was giving children a chance at a better future.

Hershey arrives nationwide in theaters November 25, 2026, distributed by Angel Studios.
