VICE: Why the Deadly Asbestos Industry Is Still Alive (2016)
This is happening right now — not 50 years ago.
Where to Watch
Synopsis
VICE Reports correspondent Milene Larsson travels to Asbest, Russia — a city named after asbestos that houses one of the world's largest open-pit asbestos mines. Despite irrefutable scientific evidence of the dangers, 2 million tons of the carcinogen are exported every year to the developing world.
Our Review
Visceral and disturbing. The footage of workers and children in Asbest, Russia surrounded by asbestos dust mirrors conditions in American mines 50 years ago — except this is happening now.
Who Should Watch
Advocates. Anyone who wants to see the ongoing global asbestos crisis with their own eyes.
