Of Mud and Blood

About the people that silently power our digital age

In Numbi, a town in Democratic Republic of Congo, men, women and children silently power our digital age. While we scroll, they extract coltan by hand, the not-so-innocent mineral essential to every device we touch. With 'an atmosphere reminiscent of a western' (Le Monde), the award-winning film is a raw immersion into a world where survival, tragedy and dignity collide. It reveals a haunting truth: an entire village must bury its dreams in the mud so we can stay connected to ours.
