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,…

  1. If I ever ran a company of any kind I'd treat my employees and pay them just as good as I was doing and I know people will say yeah we hear you but I would. I know and understand a little bit of what it's like in this world with no help from anybody . And the only time that anybody wants anything to do with you is if you have a little money or something they try to scam you out of. I have family and if I needed somewhere to stay for a while I'd just be destroyed cause they wouldn't let me. Either way Jesus got it all taken care of and I've made it this long and ill make it till it's time for Jesus to call me home.

  2. You know we've been made aware of the unfortunate living conditions of the people .. the only thing we wanna see is the detailed communication from the presidents office ..on why it's happening and how its radically being looked into

  3. “Congo has 50% of African water resources; 15% of the World’s forest reserves
    The World’s greatest mineral reserves : Gold, Silver, Diamond, Tin, Copper, Cobalt, Petrol, Malachite, Uranium, Iron, Zinc, Colton.”

  4. How do you find corporation willing to pay a fair price? Higher price will move the sellers away from the illegal sales. The 'End' products have to have a say and be willing to share or give royalties. Fair is fair, but face it, we are dealing with America, France and China here.

  5. The EU, NATO<FRANCE>AMERICA all know you are there. Now, I know and believe me. I will never shut up, I will never go away, I am poor just like you. ME AND MY BIG MOUTH ARE ON IT!
    God bless, you all in Africa.

  6. Why is Elton musk so rich ? Because his products like so many use slave labour, I’d rather pay more for goods if those at the bottom got paid more , main problem is the vast majority of people simply don’t care there greed blinds them to the human suffering I’m ashamed to be human

  7. If they try to dig to eat. Kids and any1 goes to jail. Wht are they supposed to do starve to death. Fouriners call Africans illegals in there own country 😢

  8. Everywhere in the world this kind of situation repeat itself, because of corrupt politiciens, but also, because of the people themselves who live there. There is a huge amont of land to live peacefully by cultivating and growing their own food, instead of accepting to be a modern slave for other's profit!

  9. These people are victims of the lie that black slavery was driven by white Europeans, black slavery exists on a bigger scale today than ever, and it is driven by other black people who will literally piss on the poor of their own culture. Once Africa faces up to its slave trader past and curent slave trade, and when Europeans, Asians and the rest of the world stops buying slave produced goods this horror will end

  10. "It astonishes me to witness a metallurgical engineer mining with only their bare hands, while in France, individuals lack the same level of linguistic eloquence when speaking the French language."😞

  11. All we have to do is incorporate them into the actual profits of all of the industry they are vital to. Build cell phones there. Build computer companies there. Give the ownership to the people that provide these vital resources.

  12. The very major reason why the United Nations (UN) has been in Eastern DR Congo for over a decade with no sign of peace but more rebel activities

  13. The question I'm asking myself is that, if the youth of DRC don't work in these mines how will their families survive? Especially looking at the situation of the economy on the other hand.
    Why are they not provided with mining licenses so that they can sell directly to government.
