Coltan

Did you ever hear this word before? I did not. Till today when I came across a link to a short video called 'Blood Coltan' on Facebook. I followed the link and watched the video. This is not a very pleasant experience, I admit. Then dug in for more info on internet, YouTube in particular and found 'Blood Coltan' divided into six parts for easier downloading. Below you can watch all six of them or you can follow the link I posted above and see there.

Now, whenever you reach for your mobile phone or enter one of those shiny mobile shops, keep remembering this movie and the people in Africa whose sweat and blood has been a part of your device. Have a nice day...
