When the ground hides treasures, but blood flows to extract them... Come and debate what cinema reveals and what the world prefers to keep quiet.
Documentary by Jean-Gabriel Leynaud. France, Germany. 1 hour 34 minutes.
Numbi, a small town in eastern Congo, grew up around the rush for coltan, a rare earth essential to our high-tech industries. Its inhabitants—diggers, traders, police officers, prostitutes, teachers—are actors in a tragedy, their lives ruined by the insidious effects of an exploitation system and a conflict beyond their control.
A session hosted by France Nature Environnement 82, with the participation of Célia Izoard, journalist and author of "The Mining Rush in the 21st Century," a specialist in new technologies through their social and ecological impacts, and Blaise Decarpentrise of the Ecran Total Occitanie association.
