- The Real Price of your Cell Phone | Mobile Phone | Investigative Documentary from 2014
A mobile phone is sold every 57 seconds meaning that there are now more mobile phones on the planet than toothbrushes. We investigated the shameful secrets of the multinationals who produce our mobile phones. They are the big winners of the mobile revolution as their profits explode but what is the human and environmental cost in the production countries of China and the Congo?
We bring exclusive footage from inside Chinese factories where scores of children are working long hours under arduous conditions. The multinationals claim they are doing all they can, but these shocking images say otherwise. In Africa the mines that retrieve minerals essential to components in our smartphones are dangerous and unregulated. Injuries and deaths occur regularly amongst workers just desperate to support their families. Whilst in China the environmental damage has scarred the landscape, emptied a village and possibly caused severe illness among the population.
We confront the major names in the smartphone industry with the realities that they would like to keep hidden.

The face of Bill Gates 😐 when that guy asked the question !!! Pure evil there
I'm highly impressed by the quality of documentaries I've seen so far on ENDEVR channel. At the same time, I must say, each one I've seen has been so heart breaking.
Watching this off the latest Samsung S10 Galaxy 😜
@@somerandomfella watching this off the latest samsung s22 pro
yeah the world actually sucks
As a Consumer, I can limit my purchases and control my desires to not change my mobile until it becomes my necessity to do so!
A brave team, I've never seen before, they were willing to standing up against giant companies, even though they were threatened to be their survival. Especially, going down the 30 meters hole. I could see their effort to create a great documentary.
kids can work even earlier on UA-cam, but since The CEO makes millions off of these kids that's OK. For example; Ryan Kaji has been designated the highest earning UA-cam star of the year 2020. He is 9 years old. According to Forbes, he's earned nearly $30 million from his channel. He has over 40 million subscribers. But that's perfect fine, better yet he's a celebrity. But has anyone asked him how he feels without being trained what to say! Again wake up folks.
The guys are protected enough. The documentary is a translation of a french media documentary, made by the state channel france 2. They have the half-backing of the french state, even though they dont hesitate to go after france itself if need be. That can explain their lightness even when pursued by chinese secret service and toying with them.
They sure are courageous tho sometime in the french version their tone is a bit humorisitic/sarcastic, which makes it entertaining although a bit unprofessionnal.
@@henrygrafe1576 That's not true where are you getting your information from and to what purpose are you commenting? Endevr documentaries is owned by The Pierre Péladeau Company, National Film Board of Canada - an independent of government production company who've won awards for their documentaries. They're not protected by anyone, neither is this a copy of anyone else documentary. If you know different then tell us your sources and information.
@@chrisparnham Well sorry to break it to you, but this is originally an episode of "Cash investigation" a french, not canadian, show. The journalist working there are paid by France 2, a media company owned and funded by the french state, often getting monetary AND access help for their journalistic work. So yeah even if endevr has somehow bought the right to translate this documentary, and by the way blurring the original cash investigation logo everywhere unless im mistaking, it still not "their" documentary strictly speaking.
@@QuicoKoalaid bet the farm that he is perfectly fine with it since it is his own project. No boss or management to break his balls. Let's not forget about the 30mill dollar's that comes with it. I'm sure that if he didn't create it out of necess😊😊
Though this is from 2014, I doubt much has changed to date. Maybe just hidden better.

This documentary should be plastered on all news sources...🤬
Yeah that's that's not gonna happen news sources are owned by the same people who own those factories the 1% billionaires... 😑
News sources push the awareness of mobile phone brands. They may not do it directly, but reports about Apple or Samsung is something they push towards society. That " Breaking news" about Samsung " offering to recycle your old phones" subconsciously has an effect on potential customers.
News broadcasters receive commission for airing the phone brand during their news program schedule.
You are right
We scan share this ourselves. The MSM is useless
@abdalrhman yasser ah you Wana get technical 😂 ok the 00000.01%
I feel so ashamed just watching this on my phone , this is a world class eye opening documentary .
LOVE how western countries try to ban child labor but don't try to donate money to their families to prevent the problem which is caused by poverty. Do they want the children to not work and starve?
Also, love how these western business men are thought of as 'innovative' and 'hard workers' when they just decide what lower paid workers underneath them would do for the business in order to make them rich. They're all the same.
Right
Globalization has hidden the supply chain and who controls it. The price of a new smart phone often exceeding $1000 doesn't square with paying children under $1 per hour.
I'm very happy that I started working as a child and I packed all the experience and exposure then that I am using today. Stress free.
Bill Gates started programming at an early age.
I bought a sub-$300 phone from a company that raised money on kickstarter
@@TheRealNintendoKid which phone and company?
I really enjoy the short blonde hair reporter she is the perfect example of a real reporter, she shows no fear in her question.
This documentary must be seen by the world!!!! We need to take action!!!!
No. Because no one cares it's capitalisam like it was in Europe just 100 years ago and everybody knows what is happening this isn't a secret or something new. However is sad reality on this planet that some people have so little just to some have more than thay actually need. Hard work doesn't pay off
In schools around Europe and western world for kids to se and to awake awerness on this serious issue.
Telling everyone not to buy smartphones is the only way.
Then you can start today, by throwing out your cell phone, so some teenager in India can salvage the chips to support his starving family.
Good luck
Workers are provided with AC, snicker tables, and nets so when workers jump out factory windows they won’t die.
Remember phone booths? If we still had em, I would just get a pager and throw away my flip phone. Unecessary.
They also know the damage it does all they care about is making money
Well they can't make money if we don't buy it so as long as we buy we are as much to blame....
blood money
@@Stylez-13 thats the usual arguement but it doesnt work they're the problem they need to fix it and be forced by government
How about us buying new cell phones annually? Or every 2,3,4,5, years?
Yeah but we buy it now what
same will happen on the electric car but on a bigger scale
@@user-lu6cy7hm2t an electric car is just a bigger mobile phone using more rare metals not too mention the lithium were cobalt is also hard to get on a bigger scale, and its not an argument lol
That will create power crisis in electricity deficient countries.
@@user-lu6cy7hm2t Aluminium is not mined in a similar way, you must be aware that aluminium is the most abundant metal of the planet. And moreover, the additional use of al. in the ic engines is just a fragment of what is used in most of the modern electric cars' chassis in order to make tgem light and sturdy. The solution is mass scale public transit, electric cars though better in the long run wrt to emissions and pollution will still do a significant damage to the nature.

Nothing wrong with child labor. In the West kids just play video games and get high all day long if your lucky. The ready bad kids are shop lifting, having sex and fronting for drug dealers as their shields since they can't go to jail for long. At least in China kids are learning a work ethic that Western children are sadly missing all their lives.
Ohh man this documentary is so well researched and the amount of hard work that their team did just makes it so much better, hope it gets viral

The level which these journalist take to provide us with content is mind blowing. I wouldn't enter that mine, I felt claustrophobic and fear while sitting from the comfort of my place
I wished that It was a movie I was watching,though I was a 💯 percent sure that 'this is present'!! and tears couldn't stop running down.
A very good documentary. I like the way you people tricked them at the end when they thought they confiscated your photos.
We as consumers need to research the products we want to purchase before we buy them. It takes some effort but it is our responsibility. We must also support organizations that conduct this much needed research and reporting.
Those dangerous and claustrophobic mining conditions totally broke my heart, we need major changes in manufacturing of these devices, electronics costing more would be worth it if we were assured that the process was humane
It's not that they need to cost more it's that they are not distributing the profits fairly
nah you will just fatten big corporation's wallet, they will gladly increase the price if you willing to pay.
As a kid that worked hard to save up for a phone, I dont really care, I want cheaper phones
@@nameinvalid69
Theoretically speaking the increase in price would be to ensure a less exploitative manufacturing process, not to enrich the company without them making changes. And based on phone pricing over the past few years, people are indeed willing to pay.

Huge efforts done by you for the humanity. World is beautiful because of people like you!
At the end of the day, this is about consumerism - what we allow and don’t allow. What we speak up about and what we don’t. It is really important that we remember that we have one thing that every capitalist in the world continues to bank on, literally… we have choice. Exercise it well… every day. If some things bugs you about something don’t stay silent… speak about it… today 👍
That goes on across the board. I worked at a hospital. Whenever Joint Commission, and OSHA were to come around for inspection those at the top of the chain went into, problems solving mode. Case in point. The hallways that were typically cluttered up with all kinds of hospital equipment was put on tractor trailers and taken of campus.
As soon as the inspections were over, the tractor trailers were brought back, unloaded and put back where the equipment came from. It was known in advance that they were comming. Always. ( Out of site, out of mind.)
I’m becoming more disgusted every day with humanity.
yeah, its globally. we´r zucked up somehow but because of the sheeps who dont care about anything but their personal "carrer" which at the end mostly ends at a cancer treatment ot the so called "manager illnesses" like strokes and cancer.

That's not true, apple and tesla both support minorities and even changed the logo to a rainbow for a month.
@@BoleDaPole what minorities are you talking about ?
Ordinary people are just as guilty for this. When you get a brand new phone every year just because you feel like it you're just as guilty. Just use the thing until it stops working and money starve these greedy corporations.
Insist on only buying phones with replaceable batteries. That's where consumers are allowing themselves to be raped . Rape back by shopping with someone else.
Your comment is 17 hrs old this footage was back in 2017, so obviously you’ve still got a phone, tablet or computer?
Don’t use technology, simple.

As for me I don't own a tablet, I do have an old laptop my aunt gave me and the phone I'm using now I bought in December 2016 and I'll hold on to it as long as I can.
This documentary is as relevant today as it was 4years ago.
@@Bill_Woo I'm glad there are still people like you who appreciate the convenience of removable batteries.
Nowadays everyone is copying apple , they seal the phones and when the battery is dead good luck replacing it yourself.
They remove important features on a yearly basis and most people seem ok with it. That's sad.
@@debiannebalmer8166 Wow, so you are saying that if I use a phone, I have no right to comment about greed of corporates or ask them questions or try to force the politicians to make strong laws to make sure that common people are paid decently? Man, I feel amazed to see such stupidity in some psychopathic people like you.
i remember the outrage at discovery over the sweatshops back in the day....wonder if there will be the same outrage over ----- what goes into making our must have phones....
Wonderful job, thanks for the huge work you did and for the many risks you took. Thanks also for bringing awareness on such a widespread object, I guess it's really important than as many people as possible shares this documentary.
More conscious choices as consumers will be the greatest force of positive change in the market. Since the main (and maybe only) power really left in our hands is in fact as... consumers. Let's use it!

Wow! Kudos to this man and his team for their bravery. It greatly broke my heart when those people who have the power to help just completely brushed it off and turn away its as if they never really care regardless if the man mentioned a minor involved in working. They should be ashamed! Tsk tsk
I can't express how much I appreciate this documentary! You put your life at risk for this as you know that noone local could care less you being dumped in one of these mines. Looking at the afforts of the CocaCola company to protect their way of operating it wouldn't catch me by surprise hearing something similar from this area.
And beside of all of these sad discoveries one part made me smile...Norbert. Maybe those people at the Microsoft support line, despite their strong indian accent, are providing us with their real names the whole time. :P
I really don't like how the phones are made today, because the battery is built in together with the phone. Back then, we could just replace the battery with a new one once the battery goes kaput, but now we have to buy a new phone in order to get a new battery. So annoying! 🤬
Sure, and since there is no agitation so corporates keep doing this.
@@abhinavsrivastava8615 That's true!
wow, Mr. Gates. Never thought he was cold lol. Those kids in congo and china deserve better.
He's rich enough to just help people for the sake of doing it, not because he's "an employee". It's unbelievable.
Now you know why he is promoting "green revolution" the amount of silica and other materials in those solar panels are multiple times higher than they use for phones...
I don't except Bill Gates or the leadership of all the major corporations to personally know the location of where every single component is sourced, let alone where it's suppliers get their own supplies.

He knows he's untouchable
The one thing you didn’t talk about is how the IPHONE takes an infrared picture of you every five seconds.

For a country (China) that has such strict disciplinary actions like the death penalty for so many crimes and insanely long prison sentences for the rest it's strange that such companies can flagrantly disregard Chinese law let alone international law and still carry on business without every employee at the managerial level including the owners all being given life sentences or sentences of death for what they are doing. If practices like these were done on American soil they'd be sued into bankruptcy by Erin Brockovich types. But as they are beyond those borders it goes on unhindered. There should be trade bans and or laws on American/first world countries that allow their prosecution. Which would go a long way toward stopping these businesses practices if it didn't matter which country the crime was committed.
Gotta appreciate the work that went onto making this documentary. However, with that being said, it really makes you look at your phone differently. Because it's mad to see the limits that companies will go for profits.

An absolute eye opener…hats off the team who Is behind making this awesome documentary… I decided to cut down on my money use …my small contribution…and sharing this video to my friends and family so they also understand..
👏🏼 well done ... the whole world should listen and see more of this Documentary and know that there’s people out there suffering for our privilege while they dying only to be able to feed their families..😪 this is our nation.. ?! Disregard to human race.. just so they can get richer and richer.. sad , sad world we live in !! So many millionaires in the world and there’s no water or food to this beautiful Country of DRC.
Some one needs to do something about it..
Corruption at it’s finest!!!!
So my suggestion is for the companies to raise the price of all phones by $500 and then pay the workers more. I'm sure everyone is ok with them doing this? It's easy for us to whine about children working because if we don't work to raise our children the government will give us money to take care of them. Other countries don't all do this. Unlike the US if you don't work you don't eat.
All off this strikes me as too precious. Haven't we known for decades that there's tons of abusive practices? Not just in phones but in basically everything that's outside of osha's jurisdiction. Wasn't that the point of outsourcing? Sidestep regulation for the sake of the bottom line?
Thanks for this heroic documentary
Very brave and meticulous investigation. An eye opener for sure !! Thank you.
Last phone I purchased is a SAMSUNG. I had considered FAIRPHONE, but was more expensive. Next time I will purchase a FAIRPHONE or equivalent brand in terms of Supply Chain. Maybe more expensive, but I will be more reassured on what is behind it. Although I knew these facts already, I am impressed by the quality of this documentary, and have subscribed. Good luck ENDEVR!

Good job. Nothing changes. Even with labour laws there will always be greedy people that put profit above everything else. Pretty sure in all countries you will find abusive companies.
Those found, should be reported to the authorities so they can be dealt with by the law.
The law in China doesn't care about things like that. People, their own people, are expendable to the government.
Appreciate the hardwork that went into this! Same goes for the minerals needed for make up. Lmaooo at the pictures youve given the police

Another excellent documentary by true investigative journalists. As outstanding as this piece was, one wonders if any real change has been made. Bless you, Doctor Julio.
I wish more can be done for transparency and accountability . This is just sad that behind all that glamor, someone else is paying the price. I for one am better informed now and will inform as many as I can to make a better choice when purchasing phones.

One of the best documentaries I have seen. I am particularly interested because I am writing a book on almost the same topic. When we talk about solutions, let's go the Gandhian way. Non cooperation to such manufacturers. We would use our phones and other electronic devices for long time. And will only buy from a company.
The irony of the situation is, all the countries or the areas in a country, sitting in goldmine of minerals are the poorest countries or areas.
Brave and amazing team for letting us know things we would never know in life. Thank you
Those mines are grave caves
That's totally makes no damn sense. When companies can at least provide safety equipment. In fact why don't even provide proper health care when workers are injured. And long time workers don't even get least small pension.
We live in a world where criminals just can refuse to talk about their crime and everything is OK😂

I only have one small question to make. Why wasn’t Apple mentioned?
It seems to me after watching it the whole industry must change, isn’t it?
The only change that's going to occur is if phone makers are incentivized the ethical treatment of employees in their supply chain is somehow more profitable...or may even be willing to sacrifice a small amount of profit for a better public image.
Eye opening and thought provoking. Thank you!
100+ Euros a month may be small, but it's big to most children. Especially poor children. This is the major reason why they hire mostly children IMO it's easier to find kids okay with the pay rate (they may not be fully content but theyre okay with it enough to agree to work there) and they're easier to boss around than adults. Moat adults will never settle for such scammish deal. 13 hours every night for only around 100 Euros a month and 2 holidays a year and barely any vacations. It'll take forever to find adults in China who are okay with that even if they're poor. What they're doing is wrong and is almost like slavery.
The US treats workers the same that's why we have so many people in poverty and homeless. Cant really throw stones at china when we are just as guilty. Especially in the digital age when child labor laws are blurred because parents put their kids on camera to make money off youtube? When is it ok to blur the lines?
I do agree though, this wouldn't happen if there wasn't a demand for it. Why cant we just recycle the old engines to rebuild new ones so it's not so bad for the environment amd the workers? Well the answer is money. Mongolia is also being raped of resources and air and water polluted to extract precious metals for phones. It's sad all around. I hope some day we can find a better solution to both problems.
Well actually it is SLAVERY. No one wants to say it because this time around, it CHINA doing the enslaving.
@@JolieUTU It's not because it's China, the video include Congolese kids too. No one says it IS slavery because slavery as known in history is people being forced to work against their own will and for literally nothing not even 100 Euros. These children are not forced to go to work everyday, They don't have a bullet on their head threatening them if they don't go, the worst that'll happen is that they'll just be fired and replaced. This is more like cheap labor although there's a fine line between cheap labor and slavery.
@@niyoleo You are very good in justifying evil deeds, you should become a lawyer, corporates will pay huge handsomely for your abilities.
@@abhinavsrivastava8615 How am I justifying evil deeds when my comment is about why they mostly use children and not adults. And if they do ever use adults, they use the ones that live in poverty.
An amazing video. I must admit I always assumed working conditions were probably bad but I never did dream it was this ghastly. I personally own an Apple IPhone 8 that was purchased new and is still working fine in February 2023 and has had only 2 battery replacements.
It will not be replaced until it no longer works. I don’t believe in constantly replacing cell phones with newer models. If it works I am happy
I hope the cell phone manufacturers get better at taking care of their workers.
Have A Great Admiration for the people who work on this channel. Thank You for the insight from the effort Always put into these Amazing videos. Excellent production and photography!
Look forward to more…👏
amazing work by the reporting team, i salute you for that while being very sad and moved about the truth behind it all
This happens for the majority of products we use not just cellphones.
I am ashamed to be a human being, living on this planet today... Good FATHER, please help mankind to choose righteousness, above mammon.🌋☄🔥🙏🏾
Lots of horror and death of many people just to survive to enrich the rich!
Simply and clearly quoted in the Bible. "The love of money is the root...
This is a real eye opener it's what we all take for granted I didn't kno where my handset came from or how it was made
I was all happy and dandy with my iPhone 5, green in color, thing worked like a charm for many years, then I dropped it and decided to get the new iPhone 12 Pro Max and now I'm watching this documentary and I can only imagine a child assembling my phone🤦🏾♂️ it is a shame to see things like this in our world, maybe one day it will be better.
