"We are people already sold" - film shows real impact of industrial logging on Congolese communities

27th September 2011

In 2011 Global Witness visited 67 communities in 3 provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) - this short film tells the stories of the people we met, who are impacted by the expansion of industrial-scale logging. A pattern of similarly devastating outcomes emerges.

This film was shown at the World Bank’s annual meeting in Washington DC, September 2011. The World Bank is undertaking a review of its forest policies, such as those implemented in the DRC. Global Witness continues  to press for major reforms to prevent the kinds of impacts shown in this film.
