Eastern Congo's North and South Kivu provinces sit on some of the world's richest deposits of gold, copper, tin, and tantalum, and this film follows what that wealth actually does to the people living above it. More than 100 armed groups compete for control of mines, transport routes, and villages, and the camera moves through towns where civilians work as cheap labor for both legal and illegal mining operations under the threat of violence. Interviews and on-the-ground footage trace how plunder and forced displacement have become routine, and how the destruction of the region's rainforest ecosystem is tied directly to the mining economy that foreign buyers depend on. The film treats the minerals themselves as the throughline, showing how tantalum destined for global electronics manufacturing passes through a supply chain built on coercion. Rather than staying at the level of statistics, it stays with specific communities caught between armed factions, presenting a resource-rich country where the resources have become the source of the conflict rather than its solution.
