Warlords, soldiers, and child laborers
all toil over a mineral you've never even heard of. Coltan is a conflict
mineral in nearly every cell phone, laptop, and electronic device. It's
also tied to the deaths of over 5 million people in Congo since 1990.

This guy who does must of these vice documentaries is fucking crazy!! Seeking into north Korea, twice and filming it. Going to Siberia to find the north Korea logging camps for prisoners and being chased by militia, n. koreans, and millitary. Dude is crazy, but has an awesome job! I would love to be a journalist like him, and report on the crazy shit that vice does!

Vice is great. If people liked this I suggest the Vice guide to North Korea, The Vice guide to Liberia(intense), And there was also one about North Korean slaves in Siberia that was pretty interesting.

Great post. I watched it all. That is one totally insane region of the world, fueled by international business interests and greed and facilitated by cheap weapons systems also supplied by international interests and greed.

At your throat or at your feet. No wonder the British and other European powers acted the way they did when they carved the place up centuries ago. Now the Chinese are the new colonialists in mad places like this in Africa, which is a sure mix for a future war.

These Vice Guide reporters are fucking insane.
If I went out there I KNOW I'd of panicked and ended up killing a half-dozen or so of the black bastards before winding up as dinner at a Congolese warlord's banquet myself.
PS: Great summation of the situation.
That's some brave, cool reporting there. Balls of titanium and steel on the hindi pointdexter, Chuck and the other fellow.
Stainless and indefatigable.
PPS: Whatever happened to that crazy fat fucker that went to Liberia and Chernobyl, tha More..
