    a member of the "earth surface people" exploiting the earth's surface, for the simple reason to survive – apparently he has no choice. a conflict of "tragic" dimensions and one that must result in the loss of self-esteem and self-respect… a powerful and moving documentary shot! i particularly like, how the main focus lies on the the machine! kind regards, sabine.

    Sadly miners have suffered these types of diseases for decades, but by now you would have thought protection from the damage would be available to these men ?
