you get it but you don’t reallly get it, and i dont blame you because it is clear not so clear in the video either.
i am from south sudan, and i know it gets complicated. it is true that if lundin co. left, other companies would come and exploit the resources and the people too. but the people you see are not the beneficiaries of the oil exploration. in fact, they are the victims. lundin co. does not employ them. it employ people from the north as their workers. lundin does not bring jobs.

Bad journalism. The film doesn´t in any way confirm the assumption that the voice-over and the infotext about the film try to give. It might be true, but the only interview says the opposite.
The people who made this film should bring in facts, not opinions. It is counter-productive.

the displacement of the ppl of the region has nothing to do with the londin or any othr oikl co. this is repeated over & over again in this film. if anything, londin is bringing jobs, both direct & indirectly to the area. the ppl there like it. the faction fighting is what’s displacing the ppl
