OF MUD AND BLOOD (Le Sang et la Boue)

Par Jean-Gabriel Leynaud

ONLY IN THEATRE

Numbi, a small village hidden in the heart of the mountains of the Congo DRC. Here, with bare hands, miners extract coltan, which will find its way - legally or not - to our industrialized world. For decades, this grey gold, essential for the manufacture of modern technological devices, has been the source of conflicts and ruthless exploitation. By sharing their lives and intimacy, Of Blood and Mud documents the daily existence of the inhabitants of Numbi. Revealing their ordeals and their illusory hope of escaping their fate and one day benefiting from the riches of Congo.
