First broadcast date: November 4, 2014 Did you know that a 13-year-old Chinese child, working 16 hours a day, could be "hidden" behind your smartphone? And that your mobile phone is made with several minerals that come from the northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo, a region plagued by massacres for the past 20 years? Cash Investigation investigates. Today, 57 mobile phones are sold every second worldwide. But what goes on behind the scenes at multinational mobile phone companies – Apple, Samsung, Huawei, or Sony? Cash Investigation, broadcast Tuesday, November 4 at 8:45 pm and presented by Elise Lucet, reveals the unspeakable secrets of our mobile phones. Martin Boudot exposes the highly controversial practices involved in their manufacture. From factories in China to mines in Africa, her investigation reveals a reality very different from the dream sold by major phone brands. Apple (New window) and Samsung (New window) are allegedly guilty, according to the NGO China Labor Watch (New window), of negligence and child labor. Most electronics manufacturers do business in China. Mobile phones are produced in working conditions that would be considered illegal in the US and Europe. In addition to labor exploitation, smartphones rely on several minerals (cassiterite, coltan) that come from the Democratic Republic of Congo to function properly. According to a UN report (New window), there is a link between mobile phones and the war in Congo. It states that "the minerals used in mobile phones finance a war that has already claimed 5 million lives." Elise Lucet and the Cash Investigation team have managed to trace the supply chains and confront the major smartphone companies with the realities they would prefer to conceal.
