The film addresses a great but forgotten topic of the exploitation of African resources. It does it, however, not by mentoring about history and numbers but by filming human stories and real settings where the exploitation takes place. The film crew goes inside the mines, filming inside and outside, and provides a tasteful mix of the footage of the mines with the footage of the everyday lives of the workers. All this is done with the calm and sometimes humorous attitudes of the main characters that make watching this film easy and enjoyable. It is a well-produced documentary, also from a technical point of view. Great focus, video-cuts, interviews, background material.
