Two guides in the film, the village chief and the head engineer of the mine, illustrate in telling detail contracting life styles and worldviews of global corporations and local pre-industrial societies. Always in the background is the military regime of the President Lansana Conte (1984-2009) which granted the concession to the company. The film asks who benefits when foreign extractive industries are invited to develop a country's natural resources?
Length: 52 min. - In French with English subtitles.
