• April 2012

Il vostro telefono cellulare, il computer e la console per i videogiochi hanno un passato insanguinato — legato all'estrazione del tantalio, che finanzia la guerra nella Repubblica Democratica del Congo. Attingendo alla propria storia personale, l'attivista e rifugiato Bandi Mbubi fa un appassionato richiamo ad agire. (Filmato al TEDxExeter.)
