Cobalt Red

An unflinching investigation reveals the human rights abuses behind the Congo's cobalt mining operation, and the moral implications that affect us all.

'Cobalt Red' is the searing, first-ever expose of the immense toll taken on the people and environment of the Democratic Republic of the Congo by cobalt mining, as told through the testimonies of the Congolese people themselves.

Activist and researcher Siddharth Kara has traveled deep into cobalt territory to document the testimonies of the people living, working, and dying for cobalt.
