6th Annual Anti-Corporate Film Festival: "Blood in the Mobile"
Sneak preview and California premiere!
A hundred years after the savage colonial plunder of the Congo (recounted in the best-selling book "King Leopold's Ghost"), the hypocrisy of so-called "corporate social responsibility" is laid bare as the country's people and resources are once again being brutally exploited, this time in the name of higher profits.
The spoils are rare minerals such as coltan and cassiterite -- used to make cellphones, computers, and other electronics -- that are financing the bloodiest conflict since World War II, as huge companies resist efforts to restrict the trade in these "blood minerals". Be advised: This tense and harrowing film is no 'talking head' documentary.
