[video] "Blood in the mobile" trailer [Dem. Rep. of Congo]

...[T]he production of phones has a dark, bloody side. The main part of minerals used to produce cell phones are coming from the mines in the Eastern DR Congo. The Western World is buying these so-called conflict minerals and thereby finances a civil war that, according to human rights organisations, has been the bloodiest conflict since World War II...[C]hildren work for days in narrow mine tunnels to dig out the minerals that end up in our phones...[Director] Frank Poulsen struggles to get to talk to Nokia...[seeking a] guarantee that they are not buying conflict minerals...Nokia cannot give him that guarantee. Blood in the Mobile is a film about our responsibility for the conflict in the Congo and about corporate social responsibility.
