We bring exclusive footage from inside Chinese factories where scores of children are working long hours under arduous conditions. The multinationals claim they are doing all they can, but these shocking images say otherwise. In Africa, the mines that retrieve minerals essential to components in our smartphones are dangerous and unregulated. Injuries and deaths occur regularly amongst workers just desperate to support their families. Whilst in China the environmental damage has scarred the landscape, emptied a village and possibly caused severe illness among the population.
A mobile phone is sold every 57 seconds meaning that there are now more mobile phones on the planet than toothbrushes. We investigated the shameful secrets of the multinationals who produce our mobile phones. They are the big winners of the mobile revolution as their profits explode but what is the human and environmental cost in the production countries of China and the Congo?
We confront the major names in the smartphone industry with the realities that they would like to keep hidden.
This documentary was first released in 2014.

@@crypton_8l87 people should not need to investigate every single thing we buy before we buy it. this is why there are movements like this to investigate what is created for our consumption. you sound like a corporate shill, blaming the people for what they buy rather than how the profiteers make them. it's like putting the blame of climate change onto us plebs for not recylcling our trash correctly, of for eating meat, when that is such an insignicant percentage of the problem. the corporations want us to blame each other because they're just supplying our demand, while simultaneously encouraging that demand.

The only thing we can do as consumers is to change our own behaviour. (Obviously, voting and politics doesn't help much if laws are not/cannot be enforced.) Use your old smartphone until it is completely nonfunctional. I try to not buy stuff at all (there are many items you rarely use and which you could borrow instead of buying). When I need to buy something (from clothes to tech), I try to buy second hand. Finally, when there is no other option than buying something new, I try to get as many information as possible on the various companies that offer the product. If possible, I chose the most ethical product. I also try to contact companies and ask inconvenient questions when considering to buy something. Just to make sure they know that people don't want blood on their hands and don't want to destroy the planet by buying some product.

Where I'm from, less then 5% of people has water heaters. Human rights in the countries full of slave labor where trying not to work as slave equals hunger and death? Not a concern by the longest of the long shots.

11:00 none of these are children. Some could be even 18. But come on. Those who are actually under 14, faces are blurred, so we can't really see. Note that children in France 14-16 can do "light work", which would definitely include cleaning phone screens. In the UK, it is 13-16. Hours are limited, and night-time shifts are excluded. Under 16s are NOT allowed in China. You report to the Ministry of HR and Socially Security for them to check and fine those companies. Of course you can't bring in a camera team to check for yourself. No factory would allow that. But I am not sure what this would achieve. The factory would just fire everybody under 16. There's just a small number of them. It's not like the factory would collapse. But I'm thinking, have we really improved the lives of these 13-16 year olds, who now don't have a job, and still don't have the money to go to school. Did we just make them starve for 3 weeks looking for another worse paying job? Maybe they'll be running heavy machinery, or this new job involves heavy lifting, more danger, but at least aren't linked to any exported products, so we don't care?

One way of support is via lessening the demand. However, as in my case, no choice no matter how much you want to keep the same phone bec every 4 to 5 years the battery has to be replaced. Since it is built in and sealed internally, one is prevented from replacement. So no choice but to replace it with a new phone. Perhaps if you can advocate the previous features of being able to replace the battery side by side with customer clamor of being able to change battery, then demand could dwindle subtly a little. But that said, which manufacturers would want demand to dwindle? Unless that battery replacement service is available, that could be a very good partial solution to your multi million challenge. The final question who will tie the bell?

It should never be at the expense of cheap and dangerous human labor especially involving illegal child labor.
