Miners of Potosi: The Most Dangerous Trade in the World

This documentary descends into the silver mines of Potosi in Bolivia, where miners face what many call the most dangerous trade in the world. Through the words of young workers like Eduardo Mamani, it shows lives spent in darkness, dust, and constant risk. The film honours the dignity and fatalism of men who stay miners until death. It is a powerful, unflinching watch about labour, poverty, and survival at the edge of a mountain. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
