‘Mine’ – Story of a Sacred Mountain with Joanna Lumley from Survival International on Vimeo.

What will one tribe have to do to save everything they know?

Mine, narrated by Joanna Lumley, tells the story of the remote Dongria Kondh tribe’s struggle to protect the mountain they worship as a God.

London-based mining company Vedanta Resources plans a vast open-cast bauxite mine in India’s Niyamgiri hills, and the Dongria Kondh know that means the destruction of their forests, their way of life, and their mountain God.
