Modern Slavery

Weight of Gold

Ghana

A young man stands at the entrance of an illegal gold mine in Ghana, his headlamp the only light he carries into the darkness below. Thousands of men and boys descend into narrow, unstable shafts each day, risking cave-ins, toxic air, and injury in search of gold that will likely never lift them from poverty. Many work under conditions of debt bondage or exploitation, earning little while risking everything. His steady gaze speaks not only to the danger of the work, but to the resilience of those whose lives remain hidden beneath the surface of the global gold trade.
