We love our mobile phones and the selection between different modeIs has never been bigger. But the production of phones has a dark, bloody side.
The main part of minerals used to produce phones is coming from the mines in the Eastern DR Congo. The Western WorId is buying these so-caIIed confIict minerals and thereby finances a civil war that, according to human rights organisations, has been the bIoodiest conflict since World War lI: During the Iast 15 years the conflict has cost the lives of more than 5 miIIion peopIe and 300,000 women have been raped. The war wilI continue as Iong as armed groups can finance their warfare by seIling mineraIs.
The Documentary BIood in the MobiIe shows the connection between our phones and the civil war in the Congo. Director Frank Poulsen travels to DR Congo to see the iIIegal mine industry with his own eyes. He gets access to Congo s largest tin-mine, which is being controlIed by different armed groups, and where chiIdren work for days in narrow mine tunneIs to dig out the minerals that end up in our phones. |
