Zambia
Good copper, bad copper?
Written and directed by Audrey Gallet and Alice Odiot
Zambia, a landlocked country in the heart of Africa, has one of the world's largest copper reserves. This investigation brings to light the fraudulent activities of the multinational Glencore and the plundering of a country on an international scale.
Trailer
Glencore operates a mine in Zambia with very dangerous and highly polluting extraction methods. It has been financed with European funds dedicated to development. After a two-year investigation in Africa and Europe, this film exposes the looting of raw material and the impact of mass privatization in a Southern country.
