Excellent film by some very brave filmmakers who meet rebels and campaigners in the coltan trade - essential for mobile phones and major contributor to the misery of eastern Congo

Very good! I recently read a new book that denounces the subject, in fact, it was that novel that opened my eyes to this issue. Of course it is only entertainment, but sometimes this is the way to raise awareness on the general public. The book is called Coltan, by spanish author Alberto Vazquez-Figueroa. Check it out!
I remember watching this video last year. It's funny how so few people don't realise how their desire for technology contributes to civil war over mineral wealth.
very interesting film. First clip I have seen from long time - which is actually highlightening the major problems in Eastern Congo. I'd love to see more documentary like that one and see [people taking actions to denounce illegal exploitation of mineral resources in Kivu at the profit of mobile phones companies.
