The

The movie
Powaqqatsi opens with extensive footage of the
Serra Pelada gold mine in Brazil, which was also photographed by
Sebastião Salgado – photographs appear in his 1993 book Workers: An Archaeology of the Industrial Age. The general theme here is exploitation of workers (obviously, you'd need a source that says that to avoid
WP:OR).

Dricherby if you need to know what's in a video/audio item that's only available in the UK.)
