## Resource

Cinematographer Jean-Gabriel Leynaud latest documentary, Of Mud and Blood , covers the mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Numbi, a small village clinging to the mountains of South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo, silently powers the modern world. Under the shadow of the Nyiragongo volcano, men, women, and children extract coltan by hand, a mineral essential to our electronic devices. Caught between armed groups, traffickers, and the military, the inhabitants live to the rhythm of an endless war, where alliances change but misery remains. While multinational corporations source through often opaque channels, the miners are mired in an informal economy that leaves them with nothing. Official podcast of The Borgen Project, an international organization that fights for the world's poor. Clint Borgen and team provide an entertaining look at global issues, politics and advocacy.
