Unwatchable [foundry]

Could we ever imagine it happening here?

This film was inspired by the true story of Masika, who lives in the Congo. But we set it in England because we want to ask the question: “Would we accept it, if it was happening here?”

Masika and her family were raped. Her husband murdered, and fed to her. Although deeply traumatised by this atrocity, she returned to search for other victims of rape and give them shelter. To date she has aided over 5,000 people.

There are hundreds of thousands of people being raped every year in a conflict that is fuelled by the trade in minerals used to make our mobile phones. This film is harrowing, but it is nothing compared to the nightmare going on in the Congo every day. Your phone manufacturer must act to stop using minerals from this region.

Sign the petition. Stop the devastating trade in “blood minerals.”

This harrowing film is based on a true story. We all have mobile phones and we couldn’t live with out them. But phone
manufacturers are knowingly using conflict minerals and this must stop. Help ensure our phones are rape free.

We call on the European Union to take decisive action to ensure that European companies trading in, or using minerals from, the African Great Lakes region publish details of their supply chains and carry out due diligence in line with the standards set out by the UN and OECD.

We further urge you to make clear that the E.U. will take swift and severe action if any party breaks the peace deal or instigates mass violence. For too long the E.U. has watched death squads rape, loot and commit grave crimes against humanity, offering only words of condemnation.

Over 5.4 million have perished since 1998. It is time to save the Congo.

Dear [representative],
I am deeply shocked to learn that conflict minerals from the Congo are being used in UK mobile phones and electronics equipment, possibly in my own mobile phone.

The trade in conflict minerals is causing untold misery in the Congo through the indiscriminate use of rape and murder as weapons of war. Over 5.4 million men, women and children have been tortured and murdered in the Congo since 1998. As a consumer, I am outraged that I could be indirectly supporting such horrendous acts of violence against humanity.

I am supporting a new campaign called Unwatchable which is calling for an end to the use of conflict minerals in the mobile phone industry. I have signed a petition to the EU demanding legislation against the trade in conflict minerals but any lasting solution will require the efforts of both governments and companies like yours.

I am your customer and I want reassurance that you have a policy not to use conflict minerals. If you can't provide me with this then I will stop buying your products and will tell my friends to do the same.

I look forward to hearing from you about your policy on conflict minerals.

Please take these steps to restore my faith in your company and guarantee that my phone is conflict free.

Yours sincerely,
	[fullname]
