Abstract:In 1996, thousands of mineworkers were evicted from Bulyanhulu, a goldmining area in Tanzania. Dozens of workers were reportedly buried alive in their shafts, by bulldozers of the Kahama Mining Corporation. Based on interviews with those who witnessed the facts, this documentary is an attempt to reconstruct what happened. A key spokesperson is human rights defender Tundu Anthipas Lissu, who got involved in 1999. The documentary includes interviews with James 'Mister Gold' Sinclair, who started to explore the goldmines in the early 1990s, and American investigative journalist Greg Palast, who discovered a World Bank connection and was threatened with lawsuits by corporate lawyers when he published his findings in a London newspaper.
