Red Zones - World’s Toughest Places | Congo - Conflict and Blood Gold | Free Documentary

Conflict and Blood Gold in Eastern Congo aims to show what life is really like for ordinary civilians living in Eastern Congo’s red zones. Centered on North and South Kivu provinces where much of the region's gold supplies are situated, this film will show how money, power, gold and guns have distorted the rule of law and pushed people into a war economy which feeds off their natural environment. Plunder and displacement have become normalized as has the destruction of one of the country’s precious rainforests, which boasts an immense ecosystem in the heart of Africa.
