Скачать или смотреть Gold From Our Hands: Who Really Keeps Burkina Faso’s Wealth?

Nearly one million artisanal miners dig for gold across Burkina Faso — risking their lives deep underground while billions in value flow outward.

This is not just a story about gold.
It is a story about who carries the risk, and who keeps the reward.

For decades, Burkina Faso’s gold economy has powered exports and state revenue, yet mining communities remain exposed to collapsing tunnels, unsafe conditions, and fragile livelihoods. As global demand rises, a deeper question has emerged: can sovereignty exist if value never returns to the people who create it?

In this documentary-style analysis, we explore how artisanal mining sits at the fault line between survival and sovereignty, how resource control is being re-examined, and why gold has become a test of dignity, not just economics.

This is part of a wider African reckoning — where nations are asking whether independence means extraction, or ownership of the future.

▶️ Watch to the end to understand why Burkina Faso’s gold is no longer just a commodity — but a moral and political crossroads.
