🌍 Screening of "Mikuba (Cobalt)" at the EJ Film Festival
Please join us for free food, interactive art exhibits, and a screening of Mikuba (Cobalt) on Earth Day - Tuesday, April 22, 5-8 PM in the d.School atrium as part of the 2025 Environmental Justice Film Festival at Stanford
Mikuba (Cobalt) takes us deep into the cobalt veins of Kolwezi, the beating heart of the world’s cobalt supply, where the battle for a sustainable green energy future is fought in dust and heat. This global race to secure the essential element powering electric vehicles and renewable energy puts immense pressure on the land and its people. Amid this scramble, the film reveals the lives of local custodians – artisanal and small-scale miners – who stand resolute as the guardians of ancestral wealth and wisdom.
Following the film, please join us for a panel discussion with:
