Blood in the Mobile

We love our cell phones and the selection between different models has never been bigger. But the production of phones has a dark, bloody side. The documentary 'Blood in the Mobile' shows the connection between our cell phones and the civil war in the Congo. Director Frank Poulsen sets out for a dangerous journey, to see the illegal mine industry with his own eyes. He gets access to Congo’s largest tin-mine, which is being controlled by different armed groups, and where children work for days in narrow mine tunnels to dig out the minerals that end up in our phones. Blood in Mobile is an intriguing consumer-activist-film about our responsibility for the conflict in the Congo and about corporate social responsibility.
