- Behind the Glitter - Child Labor in Mica Mining | ENDEVR Documentary
Watch 'East Germany's Stolen Children' here: • East Germany's Stolen ...
Mica: it’s the common ingredient in cosmetic products such as nail polish, foundation, mascara, and lipstick. It’s what gives them their luminosity, making them responsible for the fortune of major cosmetic groups like L’Oréal, Lancôme, Dior, and Chanel.
Unknown to its hundreds of millions of consumers is that most of it is filled with “dirty mica”, extracted using antiquated methods, close to slavery, in one of the poorest regions of the world: Jarkhand, India. Here, under the constant threat of landslides and toxic dust, children dig through the earth with their bare hands.
Journalist Brando Barenzelli has traced the mica supply chains from the lost mines of the Indian countryside to the laboratories of major brands in Europe. He films the 8-year-old children who collect mica and the mine owners and exporters who turn a blind eye to the deplorable working conditions. He also uncovers the strategies used at each stage of the supply chain to whitewash the origins of mica. Back in Paris and Europe, he confronts cosmetics manufacturers with the findings of his investigation.

Unknown to its hundreds of millions of consumers is that most of the luminous and glittery cosmetics are made with "dirty mica", extracted using antiquated methods, close to slavery, in one of the poorest regions of the world: Jarkhand, India. Here, under the constant threat of landslides and toxic dust, children dig through the earth with their bare hands.
It’s time we found out and demand changes. It just can’t be that we can 3D print a Mars landscape but cannot make cosmetics without exploiting and killing children. Seriously people.
Excellent documentary on mica, child labor & even the heath of adults mining. Heartbreaking to see children as young as four digging in the dirt to gain a small amount of mica. $500.00 a ton, unimaginable and channel sells the smallest compact or container with mica in it for up to $75.00 in Canada. Shameful! Thank for journalists bringing this to the world 's attention.
$500/ton. Imagine the labor required to produce it. Frustrating to repeatedly see the people who work the hardest and bear the greatest risk in industries continually being so rediculous my underpaid. Wish I had a solution to this pervasive phenomenon
*ridiculous
All of the companies using this mineral should be giving a significant portion of the proceeds back to Jharkhand & funding reforestation projects.
I am from Jharkhand. Jharkhand hosts 41% of India's minerals... such a small state having close to half of entire India's minerals. Unbeknownst to many Indians, without Jharkhand's minerals and industries, India would be a lot poorer!
I hate the kids are suffering. Terrible!
I know exactly what mica is. There was a defunct gold mine near our home in the woods and I played with mica there. It's beautiful but if it's breathed in over a period of time, it can be deadly. I wear no make up at all not because of mica but cosmetics are very bad for healthy skin!
Mica is also used in car paint, all those pretty sparkling colors, pearly whites, they all contain mica as well.
It was mentioned early in the doco...Great to have it confirmed though.
These videos are my reminders that the fact that I live in a 1st world country is a f*cking bliss.
Welcome to Premium+ section my friend.
Sooo… why aren’t the people mining this mica getting paid more? Bc apparently it’s dangerous and hard to get and apparently a lot of businesses need it. So popular demand. Why can’t these big companies pay the adults to mine?
Watching this heart breaking documentary makes me soooo thankful I live in Australia
Oh this is so sad! I don’t buy products with mica in them (I do check) I know it might sound “silly”, but how do we help these families and children? Is there an organisation who help them? Can we help send rice and school supplies?? This is just utter madness and I feel horrible living in the Western world. 😭
you seem a kind hearted person,
yes obviously there are Non-Profits, that work with these families especially
BUT it is always the best to aid or give alms to needy people that are living around you,
the people that you KNOW are having difficulties
help the REAL people around you not oceans across via shady orgs
do help them too IF you actually visit those countries and SEE those poor people yourself
It just sucks because even if we don't buy it personally, it will still be made. And goodluck finding a car without mica in the paint...
Rich countries poor people.All over the world.
speak for yourself abdul
I hope this becomes a series
Thank You...Stellar as usual. Had no idea about this
I didn’t either until I saw this. There seems to be literally no aspect of consumer life that is not tainted by bad practices and exploitation.
I wish I could donate to these workers. Atleast $100. So many scammers out there to do it though. If i knew for a fact they were working in these conditions for less than $3 a day I definitely would help, especially if they had children.
How come one woman picks up 300 to 400 rupes worth on the surface, the family of 4 does about the same, and two men 50 feet below the surface busting out chunks the size of your fist makes the same?? I'm sure they aren't making a killing but somebody somewhere is telling a fib
Was thinking the same thing. Glad someone else noticed too.
This is unacceptable!! These poor families and children
Take this from them and more will starve. I worked on the farm beside my parents. I would have said I would rather had been playing as well. I'm thankful that I was brought up helping and not lying around watching TV. The real problem is hunger. Solve that.
Imagine being the interviewer doing a story on the tragedy of child labor, while wearing sneakers made with child labor.
Imagine being the person that puts someone down and shames them for making an important documentary that brings awareness to an issue, over shoes.
Unfortunately in poor countries this is how they make a living to pay for mere basics 😢 ❤ billion dollar corporations & governments need to do more to help these workers so their pay is more/fair and they have safety gear & procedures ❤
Expecting billion dollar corporations to HELP workers is a pipe dream. Those aren't charities, they are for profit, by any means possible. That is why they were able to accumulate billions of dollars to begin with.
@@senerzenexpecting corporations to actually care about its workforce isn’t charity.
@@borednurse907 what are you talking about? I didn't say it was.
@@senerzen I’m so sorry. I misread your post. My apologies.
*The Dark Side of Chocolate* is another must-see.
DW has a great one about crystal & semi precious Stones- that are now trending & sales upp, bcs off social media. Most people are extremely ignorant about the issues. Also includes a lot of child labour & China taking advantage of poor people.

Bombay is renamed as Mumbai, decades ago. Correct your records
Why do poor people with no opportunities always have a bunch of kids?
I don't get it either.
poverty, slums, poor, riots=Northern india
Rich, secular, peaceful = Kerala
this is why international media never do any documentary about kerala.
if kerala would be a separate country, it would be comparable to Singapore.
Well you guys have jihadists and brainwashed young men going to Syria to fight for ISIS. Also a bunch of you are massive casteists. Your state ain't a paradise 😂
I was very interested in watching this program but l can't read the small writing.
Very sad. Govts have done nothing... Unemployment n poverty drives them to illegal mining.. Companies need to own n also implement better wages n compliance
Child labour isn't always "super bad". Depends on the situation oftens it's their only chance to get money for education etc. If the jobs wouldn't be there, they would starve because they had no way of making income. There are even documentaries asking several children about it and they even are proud that they are able to afford their own schools and books because without, the sick old parents often won't or can't afford this and the children will never have any chances in life. But again it depends on the situation . But generalization without seeing the ACTUAL problems (issues infrastructures and such of the country itself) who makes this even all possible but pointing at the "bad big industries" is always just ridiculuos.
Interesting point that made me think. But at the end, I strongly disagree.
This is like the old mentality where serfs are told to be grateful to their lord for giving them a land to work on. Who gave the land to the lord? Thanks to the king! Who gave it to the king? Thanks to God! "And who are you the little serf to question almighty GOD with your tiny little human brain?"
In reality, a king was just the biggest warlord, the biggest mafia boss whose ancestors took the land by force, also called armed robbery, and serfs were supposed to feel grateful for that.
India, together with China, produced almost half of world GDP for 2 thousand years. That is, until western capitalist private companies with their private armies came to invade. East India Company would produced opium in India and illegally sell it to Chinese peasants, extracting all the value they could for 200 years. And now, Indian children are supposed to be grateful for big western companies giving them a job?
@@senerzenI agree. Twisting things to make it seem ok or even amazing that children are having to work is twisted. Children should be learning not to “laboring.” Attempting to justify it is disturbing.
So sad..
😢😢😢
They are poor and need money for living then who to blame ? Why aren't the government help ?
Government? They dont pay taxes, why should govermnent pay them with other poeoples taxed money? 🤨
@PetrFialaOfficial you are looking handsome hopefully your heart is also beautiful....God bless you
yes! i agree,
then why you dont protest YOUR TAX money being paid to Ukraine, Israel, Pakistan etc
in the $BILLLIONS?
we are our own hyprocrits
Slave workers of big Brands 😢Sad.Where are the human rights?
Capitalism can't thrive without exploitation 😢 so sad, sweet babies deserve more
False. You don't understand capitalism. This is not capitalism. It's corruption, and you are falsely calling it capitalism so you can have a name for the boogeyman you want to condemn. Virtue-sginaling on the internet isn't helping anyone.
And capitalism gives you your mobile phone to watch and text a comment😢
Okay, how do you suggest I not participate in capitalism?? Leave my family and live in the woods??
I agree with you that's the sad part most everything we consume has some form of exploitation.
Doesn't have to have exploitation. More people just make more profit that way. If micah was only found in the U.S., capitalism would take it from the ground with large machinery and separate it out and you'd pay a fraction more for your makeup. Or you may even pay less.
These children and women are given pennies. Then the purchaser sells it to another regional guy who marks it up substantially and has it sorted and graded and sold to another guy who marks it up again and then sells it to another who then sells it to Macy's who then have a product made and mark it up again. Macy's would find a place to get their minerals regardless, but it's there and it's a little cheaper so that's what they go with.
On the flip side - if it weren't for capitalism then that market wouldn't exist and those people would be starving instead of working in the mine. Capitalism is like a kitchen knife; in the hands of Gordon Ramsey it's gonna do great things; in the hands of Lorena Bobbit though ...
Show correct map of India.
😓😓❤️❤️❤️
1st
First one here.
So what bro
hold them accountable. we need blockchain
Many Indians have no Idea about this. India is disconnected like never before. Urban middle class and above can't even imagine the hardships our own people go through for belonging to a weaker economic section. We are growing like cyberpunk, big megacities with affluent middle class surrounded by not so privilaged people.
This inequality will skyrocket in the upcoming decades. 🥲
