"Once you start doing work on humanity there is this magnet — it just takes you," Ulukaya says in the film. "We must put social issues — our community, our people — in the center. And let profit come after. And it will come."

The documentary will air on Vice throughout the rest of February and is available online on vicetv.com and ViceTV's YouTube channel.

"This documentary exemplifies the rippling effect that a purpose-led brand like Chobani can have not only on its employees and local communities, but on a global scale," said Jesse Angelo, president, global news and entertainment, Vice Media Group. "At Vice, it's always rewarding when we can partner with a brand that shares our core values, and the story of Hamdi and his team, is one we are immensely proud to tell."

Since Chobani was founded over a decade ago, the food maker has always been a different kind of company. After moving to New York as a Kurdish immigrant from Turkey, Ulukaya found that in America, anything is possible. Not only did he make delicious, nutritious, natural and accessible Greek yogurt right here in the United States, Ulukaya also reignited communities, stood up for marginalized people and demonstrated a new role for business in society, Chobani noted.

Chobani employees come from every conceivable background. At the company's plant in upstate New York, for instance, employees include people from Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar and Nepal, resettled as refugees often following violent and difficult experiences in their home countries. Seeing firsthand how hard-working refugees and immigrants are in the plants, Ulukaya was compelled to dedicate his personal wealth and time to the global refugee crisis. In 2016, he started the Tent Partnership for Refugees to mobilize the global business community to include refugees, and as of 2021, over 140 major companies have shown their commitment to the cause, Chobani said.

Robust employee benefits package are also central to Chobani's core, including a commitment to pay a starting wage of at least $15 at the company's manufacturing plants, paid parental leave, a commitment to pay equity, and Chobani Rewards — an initiative that allows every full-time employee to share in the growth of Chobani over time.

At the same time, Chobani has grown to become more than a yogurt maker, now selling “oatmilks,” ready-to-drink coffees, probiotic drinks and dairy- and plant-based creamers. Chobani said it is now a modern food company, continuing with its founding mission of bringing better food to more people.
