Blood In The Mobile Sociopolitical Documentary hosted by Frank Poulsen, published by Dogwoof Films in 2011 - English narration Information ------------------------------ Blood In The Mobile We love our mobile phones and the selection between different models 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 World is buying these so-called conflict minerals and thereby finances a civil war that, according to human rights organisations, has been the bloodiest conflict since World War II: During the last 15 years the conflict has cost the lives of more than 5 million people and 300,000 women have been raped. The war will continue as long as armed groups can finance their warfare by selling minerals. The Documentary Blood in the Mobile shows the connection between our phones and the civil war in the Congo. Director Frank Poulsen travels to DR Congo to see the illegal mine industry with his own eyes. He gets access to Congo s largest tin-mine, which is being controlled by different armed groups, and where children work for days in narrow mine tunnels to dig out the minerals that end up in our phones.

Ohhh. Okay- this is about the trade in rare earth minerals and what it's doing to Africa. It totally threw me because I forgot that British people say 'mobile' instead of 'cell phone'. I was thinking, "is this a murder mystery about a stolen Alexander Calder"? Artistharry- since you usually post about MVGroup releases do you know if the recent PBS 2 part documentary about the life of Woody Allen may be offered soon? |
