Film Lwanzo | Cobalt
In Kolwezi, where the earth bleeds cobalt and the future is forged in dust, a quiet war rages. Beneath the shadow of multinational giants, the artisanal miners of Mutoshi, Kakwama, and Kamilombe dig—not just for survival, but for dignity, for the right to remain on the land of their ancestors. They stand at the fault line of a world racing toward a green energy transition, where cobalt fuels high-tech dreams and global powers clash in a contest of greed.
Discussion: The screening will be followed by a discussion between policy advocates in Washington, DC and cobalt and copper diggers from the Kolwezi, DRC.
