3. Patterns of Abuse
Who is responsible for the collapse of the Mariana dam that killed 19 people, left hundreds of people homeless and hundreds of thousands of people without access to drinking water? In episode 3, a first hand account from a resident of Papua New Guinea reminds us that this is not the first time the mining company has been involved in a riverine mining disaster that affected thousands of people. In Brazil, Liz Bonin explores the impact the disaster had on victims for the months and years following 5th November 2015. There are revelations of criminal charges made but then dropped, and we hear the evidence behind unsettling allegations — did the mine’s owners have prior knowledge of the dam's potential safety issues?
