  • Of Mud and Blood: Cinematographer Jean-Gabriel Leynaud

    Of Mud and Blood: Cinematographer Jean-Gabriel Leynaud
    Mar 4 2026
    Cinematographer Jean-Gabriel Leynaud latest documentary, Of Mud and Blood, covers the mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

    Numbi, a small village clinging to the mountains of South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo, silently powers the modern world. Under the shadow of the Nyiragongo volcano, men, women, and children extract coltan by hand, a mineral essential to our electronic devices. Caught between armed groups, traffickers, and the military, the inhabitants live to the rhythm of an endless war, where alliances change but misery remains. While multinational corporations source through often opaque channels, the miners are mired in an informal economy that leaves them with nothing.
