This episode cuts deep into the cost of so-called clean energy. It is about cobalt—what it is, where it comes from, and how it’s soaked in the blood of Congolese children. Six million dead, and the world shrugs, as they are made invisible to make it easy for colonizers to raid their riches.
This week's episode takes you from King Leopold’s genocide to modern-day corporate complicity. If you’ve ever held a smartphone, this is your story, too. Black pain powers this world, powers green energy.
Colonialism is not dead. It wears modern suits and ties, and arrives in "green" chariots soaked in Black blood.
