Toxic Waste, A Deadly Legacy

Investigation into the illegal networks recycling toxic waste that ravages our environment and endangers the health of the African children collecting it. The increasingly abundant components of toxic waste from our telephones, computers and TV sets end up in the open-air dumps of Ghana and Kenya, where children, surrounded by deadly fumes, collect, burn and dismantle them. How will they survive tomorrow, now that some industrials are starting to set up toxic waste treatment plants to get the most out of this waste locally ?
