Africa has a prolonged history of uranium mining due to its colonial legacy. Today the uranium industry claims to instead provide jobs for the poorest people on earth. But is this the truth?
This documentary dives into the perspective of the tiny village Falea in Mali, which has a substantial uranium concentration in the ground.

It was 2014, Our film was part of International Uranium Film Festival, Amman. Soon after organizer realized that festival in Amman may not be possible or organizing this event is not an easy task. After many months of debate, discussion and confusion, festival dates were announced… Festival had some screening in west bank in Palestine, unfortunately, a minister was killed around that dates. And screening in West bank was canceled…
But before the festival, we had film screening in a village (where govt have plan to mine uranium) near Amman. So we went there…
And this video is about our short visit of Jordan
