Brazil's 'Blood Gold'
The 麻豆社 joins a special task force conducting raids deep in the Amazon in a crackdown against what they call 鈥榖lood gold鈥�.
A special task force in Brazil is conducting raids deep in the Amazon, in a new crackdown against what they call 鈥榖lood gold鈥� mining. Mining in territories that are supposed to be protected by law is destroying the lives of indigenous people, and wreaking havoc on the environment. The UK is the third biggest buyer of Brazilian gold, and public prosecutors have alleged that 30% of Brazil鈥檚 exports may be illegally mined. The 麻豆社 was given exclusive access to film a rare special forces operation. The identities of some of the operatives have been protected.
