It wouldn't surprise me if Suroosh Avi ends up dead at the end of this series. A host and founder of the well respected Vice TV, Mr Avi recently made his way to The Democratic Republic of Congo -- specifically, the conflict-ridden East Congo -- to document the mineral trade currently pummeling the country.
Rich in a whole host of minerals that the rest of the world needs, regions of East Congo have been violently contested, with political, big business and humanitarian efforts pulling in all directions. The result is a country still entrenched in the past, with many workers surviving on scraps and widespread poverty
Vice begins their outstanding series in the segment above. The remainder of the series can be found on their site.
