Congo: The High Cost of Mineral Riches
The Brian Lehrer Show | May 16, 2016
You'll recognize actress Robin Wright's ("The Princess Bride," "House of Cards") voice in "When Elephants Fight," a documentary she produced with #StandWithCongo.
Wright talks about the film with JD Stier, president of Stier Forward and campaign director of #StandWithCongo, and Tom Perriello, U.S. Special Envoy to the African Great Lakes Region.
They also discuss their work drawing attention to the conflicts in the Congo and the role foreign mining companies and the region's rare mineral riches needed for modern electronics play in furthering the violence.
Now: @RealRobinWright and @jdstier are here discussing their new doc "When Elephants Fight" and @STANDWITHCONGO. pic.twitter.com/elLKlJ6mD4
