  • The Real Price of your Cell Phone | Mobile Phone | Investigative Documentary from 2014
    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 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.
    We confront the major names in the smartphone industry with the realities that they would like to keep hidden.

      kids can work even earlier on CZcams, but since The CEO makes millions off of these kids that's OK. For example; Ryan Kaji has been designated the highest earning CZcams star of the year 2020. He is 9 years old. According to Forbes, he's earned nearly $30 million from his channel. He has over 40 million subscribers. But that's perfect fine, better yet he's a celebrity. But has anyone asked him how he feels without being trained what to say! Again wake up folks.

      The guys are protected enough. The documentary is a translation of a french media documentary, made by the state channel france 2. They have the half-backing of the french state, even though they dont hesitate to go after france itself if need be. That can explain their lightness even when pursued by chinese secret service and toying with them.
      They sure are courageous tho sometime in the french version their tone is a bit humorisitic/sarcastic, which makes it entertaining although a bit unprofessionnal.

    So my suggestion is for the companies to raise the price of all phones by $500 and then pay the workers more. I'm sure everyone is ok with them doing this? It's easy for us to whine about children working because if we don't work to raise our children the government will give us money to take care of them. Other countries don't all do this. Unlike the US if you don't work you don't eat.

Non cooperation to such manufacturers. We would use our phones and other electronic devices for long time. And will only buy from a company.

    For a country (China) that has such strict disciplinary actions like the death penalty for so many crimes and insanely long prison sentences for the rest it's strange that such companies can flagrantly disregard Chinese law let alone international law and still carry on business without every employee at the managerial level including the owners all being given life sentences or sentences of death for what they are doing. If practices like these were done on American soil they'd be sued into bankruptcy by Erin Brockovich types. But as they are beyond those borders it goes on unhindered. There should be trade bans and or laws on American/first world countries that allow their prosecution. Which would go a long way toward stopping these businesses practices if it didn't matter which country the crime was committed.

Moat adults will never settle for such scammish deal. 13 hours every night for only around 100 Euros a month and 2 holidays a year and barely any vacations. It'll take forever to find adults in China who are okay with that even if they're poor. What they're doing is wrong and is almost like slavery.

    I feel sick! Sicken by what I just saw... biil gates has only one thing in mind, money. So he, and his wife go to ( help) other countries ect so they can be hailed by the public....they're DISPICABLE HUMANS. NO MATTER WHERE THEY ( help) I hope KARMA goes after them. And the are also OTHERS. GREED GREED GREED AT THE COST OF OTHERS/ CHILDREN. What MONSTERS!!! SICKENING!

    Your channel must be protected! Thank you for exposing these things. So many people have no clue where things come from or how...nor care. People have to wake up!

      That's totally makes no damn sense. When companies can at least provide safety equipment. In fact why don't even provide proper health care when workers are injured. And long time workers don't even get least small pension.
