Growth for some and patience for others. We see them in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where this documentary was rolled in April 2013. The movie deconstructs the relationship between the local people and the mining industry. While copper and co are extracted from the mines to feed the globalized economy, Congolese cough. The contaminated wind flows like the well-being expectations of the Congolese people.
