Four films, each shot in a different conflict zone shaped by illegal resource extraction. In the remote coastal communities of the Southern Philippines, fishermen and traffickers strip one of the world's most biodiverse marine ecosystems while local authorities look away. In Eastern Congo's North and South Kivu provinces, gold deposits fund militias, and the film follows civilians caught between armed groups profiting from the mines. In Myanmar's rugged hill country, a decades-old civil war between the military regime and ethnic insurgent armies continues largely unseen by outside cameras. In the Brazilian Amazon, which covers 78 percent of the country's landmass but holds under 15 percent of its population, criminal networks push into protected indigenous land faster than authorities can police it. Interviews with residents, miners, fighters, and activists carry each segment, with on-location footage from rivers, mining camps, and forest checkpoints. Together the four stories trace a pattern: wherever the rule of law is thinnest, natural resources become the fuel for violence.
