Deep inside Africa’s Dangerous Gold Mines

In this eye-opening documentary, we travel to Waringa village in Bondo, Kenya, to uncover the untold story of how gold is mined in rural Africa. We meet Achieng, a young woman working in a small-scale gold refinery, who guides us through the entire process — from crushing rocks to separating gold using traditional methods and mercury. But the journey doesn’t stop there. We descend deep into a real, active gold mine where there are no helmets, no lights, and no safety systems. Just ropes, courage, and hope. What we found inside was terrifying… and unforgettable. What You’ll Learn in This Video: How gold is extracted from soil using simple tools and local knowledge The role of mercury in small-scale gold mining The hidden dangers faced by artisanal miners in Africa Why thousands of miners die underground each year How communities survive through this ancient yet dangerous trade Have suggestions for our next exploration?
