Mines of hell: risking their lives for coltan | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Coltan - or "gray gold", as it is often nicknamed - is present in cell phones, computers and satellite navigators. This metal is extracted exclusively from the rich sub-soils of the Democratic Republic of Congo. For the first time ever, a camera has managed to film behind the scenes in the out-of-bounds mining areas of the Katanga province, as far as North Kivu. In "The mines of hell" , we get to meet Congolese miners who go 150 feet underground, daily, for the paltry sum of 1 dollar per day. The tunnels dug in the crumbly stone that is prevalent there are in danger of collapsing at any moment. Meanwhile, above their heads, a civil war is waging, complete with regular pillaging of resources. By following the lives of various people, this poignant documentary demonstrates how the young Congolese democracy is striving to establish long-lasting redistribution of mine resources, as well as an efficient government and effective education for the masses. All these efforts illustrate how the Democratic Republic of Congo is gradually trying to win back its freedom through the nurturing of its intellectual and mining resources.
