𝘖𝘧 𝘉𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘶𝘥 takes us to Numbi, a remote village in the mountains of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where miners extract coltan with their bare hands – a mineral essential for today’s technology, yet the source of decades of conflict and exploitation. By sharing their daily lives and struggles, the film reveals the harsh realities, hopes, and resilience of the people of Numbi – a story we cannot look away from.

The Vancouver International Black Film Festival runs from December 5–9, featuring many more must-see films.
