MY god. Look at the miners face at 21:35 when they tell him what coltan is used for. Its quick and it only lasts a second; but, Its a moment where you can acctually witness the human soul sheding a single teer.War is a game of animals gnashing at each other for scraps of meat that if they only shared would fulfill all. In a still moment like this it reminds you that Human beings are trampled under the feet of these inhumane beasts.If you pray…pray for this man, pray for his peace.

Actually China isn’t consider a western country! And where did you obtain your ridiculus definition of categorizing asian countries as western countries?! You simply cannot just expand definitions. Thirdly China, Thailand and other asians who uses millions of cell phones don’t fall into the “first world” category! Go learn before posting ignorant comments……..
May 12th, 2009 at 9:33 am
do you know what western countries mean? it means any country that isnt a third world country! how this helps you you before you make silly comments again!
May 14th, 2009 at 7:42 am
How about China? The biggest user of cell phones in the world? or Japan? Korea? or the Thai company who is mining it? NO blame for the asians?
May 15th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
How about the asian countries? like China? uses more cell phones than anybody! and Japan, Korea? They use just as much or more than the west of Africa’s natural resources! But of course the U.S. always gets the blame for asians using resources too!
May 17th, 2009 at 10:21 am
How about China and India? both will surpassed the U.S. as biggest consumers of tech. and especially cell phones. China has much more cell phones usage than the U.S.! Also don’t forget Japan, Korea and many other asian countries! last time I checked asians weren’t considered western world!

This video is awesome!So comlex!Concentrating on exploitation by the Western World,there is another interesting subject is lying beneath, which is’HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUES’especially whereabout CHILDREN are being exploited. I’ve heard so many other Countries are using child labour as well. How on earth it can happen at all!??I think there should be no excuses whatsoever by any Government to allow anything like that to happen. I want to see evidence that Human Rights are being practiced in these…

Trent079…interesting you make this point….In Canada, Brazil, USA, Australia…the land was taken by force, deceit and occupation, the societies that existed there were decimated by war and disease…in many cases, this was done for valuable minerals and other natural resources… hope you remember that aspect of the story…

All this so that some fatasses in Europe and the States can sell cellphones. I will dump mine as soon as the contract is up. This all *****. Economic Hit Men from the U.S. and Europe sitting back in the background like the bloodsuckers they are.

Wait till clean water becomes rare ;)…see if country’s wont start fighting for the control of the source.We usually ignore those details cause we the people of the 20,21 century always had everything…but when famine and need kicks in,”humanity” and “civilization” is usually trow over board.I hope we realize the importance of not wasting and over consuming soon…cause we will be the first ones to die cause of our spoiled lifestyle.

Oh, yeah! Africans don’t kill each due to their own moral failings! Everybody knows that Canadians, Chinese, Brazilians, Americans, Australians and Japanese would inevitably allow their societies to degenerate into failed states if some rare and valuable mineral were discovered within their borders.
