the coronavirus has silenced a voice from the world of jazz music cameroonian gest jain man who did bungle has died in a paris hospital after contracting covert 19 he was renowned for his unique blend of jazz funk and traditional west african styles we'll leave you now with some of his music and their phenomenal time thanks for watching. yes the thing and it will get him back the good morning as. long as. we're all set. to go beyond. the song that. we're all of the heart the stories that matter to. us. whatever it takes. that long running trying to explain

a little nutty job it's made for minds. my name is daniel lomborg i'm a filmmaker and this has been my most challenging personal film really think that if that's got me is that after thwaites rock just got best off a stump in indiana possibly even to south asia. the story of ordinary people fighting a global industry that's been getting away with mass murder. an industry protected by powerful politicians and the doll starts in my small village in belgium. i had a wonderful childhood this green paradise just opposite my home there's

a big company. ethics at an it. thousands of people work there. my father worked there too as a union man. i work in the factory during the holidays so i could buy my 1st camera . it takes it and it paid for houses. food in my studies it brought a lot of prosperity to families in the region this was the unquestioned reality of my you'd. one day more than 50 years later an indian lawyer comes to my village. errantly ethics and internet has a dark and hidden history buried in india. you run a factory in another country and you don't tell these people that it's unsafe you don't provide any of the safety equipment you dump asbestos like this and then you

leave. as a huge rise in the use of asbestos in india and around 198-0008 increases a lot softly and that's because between 1908 and around 2004 i think a specialist became bad and then in europe. it takes its image is a company that made us bestest products as best as is a mineral that can be mined like coal and you don't asbestos is made of fiber is with one fiber of his best it's actually contains millions of small fibers which cannot be seen with a naked eye not even through an ordinary microscope not only was conducted. in the early fifty's as best as fiber mixed with cement was considered a miracle product that was meant to last for eternity. living in hong kong we are

fortunate in our industry in that it's best us and cement constitute what i call a perfect match for. this miracle brother was used in the houses schools public buildings. even the european commission building brussels was a bag full of his best products. it became a booming business making the owners of it the exception it's the m's and family one of the richest in belgium. in 1964 scientific research by american dr selek of proved that as best as it was legal. as a union man my father knew about the scientific proof he did his best to warn the workers but many of his colleagues became sick. inhaling as best as fibers can cause as bestows his lung cancer and measure tell your mom. breathing in these

fibers for even short periods of time can cause cancer the symptoms of this cancer can take many years to develop 15 years sometimes 30 to 40 years and there is no known cure. why didn't my father warn me about the dangers. why did he allow me to work in these deadly dust. just before he died he even told me to leave the matter all on for him as best us was a thing of the past. i decided to ignore his last wish and proof that a company he worked for is part of a worldwide industry that's causing death and destruction to all these days. according to the world health organization officially more than 300000 citizens are

expected to die from mesothelioma by 2030 in the e.u. . eric is an activist who founded a big of an organization for victims of us best us. but by my dad was a technical engineer he started working at after that in 1953 he developed mesothelioma which was diagnosed in brussels and he died 6 months later in 1970 i mean it sort of was. so i had rock bottom ho. so one of my sons told me that the end of the doctor had told him that morning that evening he told me mom you have the same illness as dad. and i meant you could. and i couldn't believe it it was incredible. to have quite a few weeks after d.c.

interview prince of os boss the way. she left behind 5 sons eric is the eldest. american his family lived in the shadow of the factory and so i was in the 5 brothers all the exposed because of asbestos in the environment. for them it was your house far from the company. you know just across the road from the factory entrance was 50 meters away. in a bathroom from the beds that loaded came in 100 pieces away or we would take the kids to watch nice little book. not only their experiments but 2 of his brothers. almost best to. sit there shocked for the moment each time we were just getting over our latest loss and bam more bad news hit us again so christmas is no longer the family gathering that used to be. there for me good on the very. fortunate

died was refused compensation. and courageously started the lawsuit against ethics turn it. fully on camera family claims ethernet knew that his festus is dangerous and harmful to health but the company's lawyer says it and it did not know and was not at fault. if they did with the knowledge they had at that time internet acted as could be expected from any normal industrial company in similar circumstances so they are not at fault here folks. at the exact turn its policy has always been to minimize the dangers of as best us know best oh so that you get dust coming and that is definitely not a good thing because of could however the research we have had done at the university of leviathan proves that even at the moment of sawing hardly any

especially does is released into the air and therefore the danger is almost 0. manager of on the 1st died of an as best as related disease. in 1976 when the rest became the president of the a i a. and lobbied hard to promote as best us. as best as in the environment is classified as an extremely low risk just like taking one beer per day. ethics at an it flourished and soon became a multinational company with factories in the netherlands france paine italy all over europe. many international as best as corporations went bankrupt because of us best us victims lawsuits at excedrin it took over factories from troubled competitors and so they became a dominant world player. in 1981 in a meeting at 6 at an it had

a new opportunity to benefit from. fiber deep mountain developing countries is expected to continue to rise over the long term. i think saturn it soon acquires as best as factories in developing countries in africa south america and asia india and its internet had 5 factories. one of these factories in kind more is well known to the indian lawyer to prove. that factories have been opened up just to take advantage of black floors so while the why of why are you here so we're trying to bring a case here in belgium we've been trying to see the options but you know ortiz according to millions it's a quarter and a court case against. the text the parent company saying that you knew very well

when you were operating these factories that such best os was a cost in a gentle yet you operate at these factories negligent well over a court case we were able to prove done since 963 degrees so no way they can say when they were doing that in the ninety's until 2002 and they cannot say that they've no look at it it's everywhere. what's happened is nothing less than corporate homicide. if you made a decision that has cost the lives of people then you should be held accountable for it in a criminal court. i wanted to see time more myself but i was hesitating. i've been exposed to his business my whole life like most of my fellow jurors my lungs are affected. and i think my father would have warned me. not to go to india.

welcome to everything his face time. with with the home all in a texas jury now it's advice in the course of. the factory was built in the thirty's by an english company at xander need balls a company in 89 and named it ever asked. on his business was banned in belgium in 98 at they said their need kept us business production going until 2002. then they sold their business to an indian family. the current indian owners did not

want us to film in the factory. so we can see better from the top. but local people took me into blue today rooftop which. is of the multiplier. effect does one go about the cyclone and india. this brings also back memories you know we are it's very similar even the roof of the factory is very similar. so many people work in the factory now. it is a. 250 people. and it runs 24 hours here create every day shifts night 3 i read a 7 o 7. clearly see the sheets over there being piled up and they'll be taken and sold this factory is for the north so should be for sold anywhere in the north.

asbestos sheets and all the fact that he had to find a cement sheets. which are the ones to use in india. he sells everything from soaks through toothpaste and sweets so he selling a asbestos sheets with sweets. so what we know is that the 5 with the manned sheets off the sometimes off to degrade we can even see it's already in these new seats yeah at the edge of it it's already started degrading and and then the fibers will come out from not. if you go anywhere in india you'll see why this made me think i'm going high just being i'm going to strong building material that lasts for a long time that will protect you from the sun it will take you from the rain. to go to my you go jenny and get something you see hundreds and hundreds of tonnes of asbestos. seized 997 when companies closed in the west

the consumption of us bestest products quadrupled in india. you to see it on a boat full of. stuff while i was walking and the effect of it didn't get us down all it often up there double alders rewards. i have done that. it was believed and found this bag is one thing about this vegas from what i saw this work is from santa cruz which. my father said sometimes it made with water snowballs and yeah yeah yeah you do that this is used in your parents. with everything from honey i saw they are not the parent. to talk to them and then you went home scratching the sense you know that. this is my wife. so little of not about. you and i love my series here now you have me direct that is called it well ok beaman is my live in the shadow of the factory was the houses built by the

factory for the workers are entirely constructed from us the best the sheets. the area they live on is known as the is best compound. how you feel about living in this house i'm become highly can't do it solo think. of this but just a wired up the little bit there you have to pretend. that i live the judge i was very happy. i used to do you need a small idea then and then they can go on i used to enjoy it and they don't they're in the classroom and on the other side of the fence there is waste weren't you worried about them this quarter vote on. 70 and decide that they don't know the guy as whom is quite separate from them. well let's talk which anita i know nothing

about because i never knew of on the home of does their status and he's not mincing and the children didn't know either nanda on the one thing the rich even though on the list even on one i don't mind they would have not michael we are going to. go for. her i'm ready. i think. obviously asbestos crisis in the soil goats crawling precipice toes. this is the everest industry school over that got 400 students with a get a tween. 8 in 14 for school we did his best this roof next to it there i go. you can see the fibers like these new styles breaking down. it's not even any more

but i'm saying no to the coming and going no warnings to do a little bit yeah and it's just opened like this you know. when you just start 9298. $9298.00 so that's ethics yeah pixar yeah. but each case in belgium i got in touch with the canadian scientists and they did their survey they found that they were really think so because it's got me as a. specialist race so you can say there are 600000 i just get. a lot just as best just based on an indian possibly even south asia. 600000 square meters is the equivalent of a one on there $1020.00 football fields. people for the event and i'm just going to bring the i'll just before that i rode up to. ground with all the people living on the streets.

i was one of those one of them if. you can see this if i were in the universe but. i can't just be from the god of the meaning of you thank god i was good to him again all over the only thing that made me mad unlike other mean visible to the world and again when you're young you are going to live especially this is quite common in the north american response to the now 4th part of europe like the going to mean when the government took on a lot of them are going to do you know the quality of his due diligence and that's just this why are you willing to make your only the point is that these are all cool people yeah and i give the green but this land and you know they're not telling about the waste and as a consequence of building are not not come out they are out of this therefore

making this building they're not aware of this fact. but as an international activist eric has come to crime or to a to go with his legal case against it takes internet to be. ok. i need to see how the capital has been reproduced your goal to duplicate it looks like they did such a good job. and

. went out and forth these absurd treatment at the factory and i'm all in calcutta and climates a lot on the korean modern shutdown and they opened another one in nasik in 1995. you are telling me that even though they knew that as business well this is dangerous and they were going to stop you know forced to stop in belgium in 983 years before that deadline they opened up a new one when i got they believe a day without a thick skin that i thought that they could continue manufacturing asbestos knowing what they knew about the circumstances i specify a spray can diseases in europe this is what what makes me mad and what makes me travel the world with the stuff. you have hospice stores use how many percent isn't

going to mention one thing i know i'm shuffling war but it is already now actually destroying viewfinder and because i can read through all bloody. when i walk i go from the idea up to temp and. i become british. i know i got. it over. he should have 2.8 that's 2 liters point it should be true but here we go to 1.69 vs doing these tactics i would give any man disability or 30 percent 30.

fifty's fifty's when you did these basics you seem to. be also him or read his hands in raw as best and pointed up and put in machine the situation of working with a rock as mrs changed when things came or was it's the same. remember that they provided us with helmets to protect our heads in the end it's only ok to do the back their hearts do not protect their market loves to protect their lungs they could give habits. and a document of ethics enter in it of 81 be concrete it was important that the relevant homebase standards should be applied to subsidiaries.

yet we discover that the standards were never applied and the reason why they were never applied is also to be found in the same document is best isn't health issue in most developing countries is not yet acute. i am the one time the body. inspired by his father who organize similar makeshift medical centers to blue started working in india as a volunteer by looking at the length of time that they're exposed to asbestos they're only exposed to asbestos if you don't have but it's close but no merik. we need to find out when they were married to see when they were exposed. to help the people of crime or in the surrounding area with their medical documents and yes. from i was sorry it's strange to see this logo here in india but if you leave off the everest you know it's as if i'm back home to the us. to.

the bust out doctor cause. next. year. i'm a surgeon i mean i was an associate professor i was a lecturer in the department i don't need money for the motivation medicine you can only earn money if you work for the company but if you work for the company you can or diagnose occupational business so the only way you can do it if you do while in police work. well it took you i'm suffering but i don't speak up in these otherwise i'll lose my job i think you know i have young daughters and a son who is studying if i don't work of knowing how we survive i'm gaza and. they're going to know what i'm going in on the other source of employment the even

if they don't work every day and there was limited i mean it's like i lived their lives like someone i'm in their work in their work and they don't work there is a media because there are no money to eat. so you have got a disability bus and they don't 60 percent 60. s in their voice loss of weight loss of every day in order to eat going to agree probably has got a lot of guilt and sort of as businesses he lives on the bubble of the mountain there and he needs some proper treatment by standing actually for a medical doctor not to be able to leave him completely. the 1000000.

run it was made clear to me and my wife is also something that. is not her. i want her to live with me father or. my view of that is you have to face it. everybody has to die. i mean those who not only did did do the philosophy of life everyone has their day this is what i would look like this is why i like. father joseph you have been priests here for all of this you already did if you burials players even this only one boy who doesn't know that the 9 years old from the 9 that inanna. just died ya don't go see our birth in problem.

the fact is that bubbles i think use thing but they did not provide a problem medical facility even when a daily check up and the person who is going to wait is side then once it is to do is then only option left to me is that. and again there are no official scientific statistics in india. conservative estimates are that the $100000.00 people are affected by asbestos related diseases in india pm every day or every year but go in and record it it's already globally the largest. occupational disease asbestos sees globally and this is going to be replicated in this country it's going to be going to be the sun there are not some nonsense say involved in that it's not so. mother played whatever that is only up to.

600 people visited the makeshift medical center. the number of people diagnosed with us distortions this 125. for his lawsuit against antics entered it to write it on all of their testimonies. but on most papers i can see that maybe it didn't say mistakes the answer didn't period. there's no conversation right about there is no there's no compensation. there. you know. we would like to thank you for welcoming us you have open your doors so we could talk with your we could meet new faces my mother she was 66 years old. these bleak and

she was a man. we trusted and enemies they say didn't do us no dangerous but we realize that they lied. we hold that the polluters we'll be taken to justice and we'll pay for the cleanup there is nothing we can do for the people who passed away but we must be thinking about the future generation it starts down the cities compensation naturalness has got to pay yes i am not going to come out i don't. think i'm a little lady said you know i can. thank you. is it is a deal some man see me and believe me you know must. i really i really love rig you on my t.v.

i mean i do need to be a bully no mondesire we end up being me on a month i'm a new woman and after that i meet on regular i do you made up of we're doing normal adama days but it's just with. room. for 16 long years in the case of from swazi own kid to versus at 6 at an it the family's lawyers finally handed to an official verdict i just hope it gets difficult would look at the court recognizes and turn its responsibility and states . that ethernet as a multinational and world player knew or should have known that exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma and that they should have known this since the mid sixty's since we did on the arses that these beaches off it's like david against goliath for sleeping goliath it takes more time when the means are unequal groups.

of both. were told me today france was young carer has won her battle for me i'm 30 m. singh's family you have written one of the darkest pages in belgium in industrial history from the get it while you manufacture roofs but you prefer to stay in the shadow we were able to prove to the court that they knew they knew. already thanks. for fluff from suarez who passed away confident rest in peace next to pierre pierre paulo and stuff. is the fun we don't view we miss you. it's true that i mustn't remain silent.

i'll cry a lot and i must bear up until this is all. this is our lives satisfy and. time is short if you see. eric's victory has opened the doors for other claims all over the world. i join to brew in london to discuss whether he saw an opportunity for the numerous victims of crime or to grow had some unsettling news he asked me what my precise connection was to british filmmaker probably more. after a while he started emailing and phoning and giving numbers of other people at a certain point he came to my village is a very nice guy. i was wrong to reveal that rob moore was a corporate sponsor. more now claims to have been

a double agent but the fact remains that he infiltrated numerous anti as best as movements throughout the world is spying gathered information of activists from india thailand indonesia and vietnam. information that could be used to in their day work and their claims against the as best as industry activists can now be tracked and killed. one of the things that makes me angry is that as the names and identities and photographs and voice recordings of all of these people without their permission. there are photographs in these files of him sitting with people are dying for me so he i mean vietnam so he is sitting with me to leisurely emma victims and using them as a cover. to spy for the rest of his trees that really is something that makes me angry. as business is still being mined in brazil china and

in russia in a time gold is best. if you still exported to countries like india it's a $1000000000.00 business. turns out more spying was funded by the biggest as best as mining company in kazakhstan it proves how far they are willing to go to stop the banning of us best us as their mother. was there's no. answer to everything i met a lady i will meet me yeah i'm here to the n.b.a. i think i'm here. for the 1st time in our life and have my life traveled by plane it's a big day she's invited to speak in geneva in front of the united nations at the business and human rights forum. you can love her milosevic on behalf of the

victims in india a good passes but in a way it is all the victims of asbestos who will speak out today no to another mother no time and a note from escape another mother speaking out a mother who sees her children losing their health. to despair do you hope to meet someone from a taxi or to see circuit. she can see clearly my help the management or the c.e.o. will be here but i don't think they're going to come from both bottom miserables back or but i bet they'll send someone who's got a big ear because only. it takes ethernet declined to participate in our film because not all conditions are sufficiently yet in order to respond positively to your request.

you are here to fight for the rights of the people of our great nervous look at our last word are we in the words many people from all over the world come to listen to . our door meet me in a roadside fire our not knowing. that . high fence i'm near my last and come from india in my avi. i have seen school many good. living up there in full live born with the flaws of the debt. whatever it is when happy but now i'm going to need a bowl the coming generation this will not suffice from this. war then i've been to them and hope they may have did so i headed to the talks.

i was told was that he does this this this this should be me he did me do you see you are going to turn that has got to pay the 2nd thing some compensation should be given to the victims and the 3rd thing now does this is should be banned. am i right. don't do thing in this group. c. i think we all care to come but yet. we have handy and we have to move rather than do it all you. do not live through all of their money. we should be. what we need only. this is all there pretty was you know was to do good for you one thing is actually

. you know. that's simply needed this is not a move to. dilute you know everything you give. and i had a. crisis time as best as is still not on the list of banned products. during the assembly of the rotterdam convention countries take decisions on which hazardous chemicals will be banned. the convention meets the consensus of all the member states major producing countries have blocked it since 2006 kyrgyzstan kazakhstan russia zimbabwe and india. we have committed over 7 for the boarding house going on back east for a couple of more years new building by 2 woodlawn with 2 skeptical and etain which

is created manmade has ill effects the only difference is the quantity and exquisite isn't it you sound like a real specialist i hope one day your country will manage also to bend as best as goods and. so it looks like it's going to take some time but in the end time means let me tell you that i get to diet snitch world that. i wasn't under the impression that this best this would die a natural death. and meanwhile more and more people die. during the convention i try to talk to representatives of the russian as best as in the street . no sir you speak english you know the answer you only see the russian. can i talk to you about this situation in kazakhstan in russia no we're not. we're here for open discussions or more meaning in. your users are going to like you when

we understand that the prohibition of its use will lead to the loss of $100000.00 jobs which country here is willing to lose that many jobs which extra money 86 percent of lung cancer is by no backdoor various kind of its uses there is no status because of article any of our international tend to be doesn't want to live on sky as a puzzle based on a lot of desert island business model i am still preaching you're pretty that you'll obvious that we consider that the adding of chrysotile us bestest in attendance 3 would have serious net. of consequences for the economy by fear and all our citizens economic you fail of a path that. required consensus is not reached i propose that we simply have forwarded that issue to the next call to the consideration for the next call the decision to ban as best as is once again during my postponed. reading.

under a new rule by the environmental protection agency as best as is now legally allowed back in u.s. manufacturing. a russian mining company puts drums face on it as best as products too many people have died continue dying and will die because of as best us one can only admire the courage and determination of ordinary people take action and make a difference. but it looks like the fight for justice will continue well into the 21st century. my father and i had our differences. but i think he would agree if we allow companies to keep putting profit over people . is fish a circle of greed to continue for eternity. last
