Welcome to Sodom

The demand for the latest electronic accessories in Europe is exploding. Manufacturers regularly report record sales. Mobile phones, LCD TVs, notebooks and the likes become useless and “out” relatively soon after their release. Hundreds of thousands of these end up in Ghana where children and adolescents dismantle them in toxic smoke. A “clean” business for some, a poisoness routine for others.
