In DRC\u2019s perilous mines, Eagle Mujinga walks a tightrope, protecting workers\u2019 welfare to supply international demand for cobalt.<\/p>\n
Eagle Mujinga manages workers at Shabara cobalt mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). As the world\u2019s biggest producer of cobalt, the DRC is a part of the chain that fuels electric vehicles and renewable energy worldwide. Miners in the DRC face dangerous working conditions and earn, on average, a few dollars per day to supply the multibillion-dollar industry.<\/p>\n
Eagle is caught in the middle when unrest grows among miners who accuse foreign buyers of underweighing and undervaluing the cobalt they extract. Once a miner himself, can Mujinga navigate demands from the miners while maintaining relations with foreign buyers?<\/p>\n
Cobalt Miners is a documentary film by Arthur Nazaryan, Neild Brandvold, Mike Shum and Qinling Li.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
