Video by @renan_ozturk// Lucky strike. Congo is an incredible travel destination for eco tourism and gorillas with the city of Goma as a jumping off point. This was the first 8K RED shot on location for the @natgeochannel #Explorer show "The Yellow Brick Road". The story exposes the true path of conflict gold that is used for our jewelry, our phones and computers. Our journey started here in Goma and went on to visit warlords deep in the jungle of North Kivu as well as government certified 'conflict free' gold mines and other parts of the supply chain. In this particular location we saw the drastic differences in wealth in the community generated from the gold and other minerals. The official stats in how much gold comes out of North Kivu is zero, but we filmed quite the opposite. There is a quite a lot to this important story. Search "explorer yellow brick road" for the full episode. ~
