‘Something special about Nairobi is the people. I love the people of Nairobi. One thing I dislike about Nairobi is that there are barely spaces for children to play’, says Victoria behind the wheel of her van, driving from one birthday party to the next. Five years earlier, she set up a helium balloon business in the Kenyan capital to surround herself with joy and find safety after escaping an abusive relationship. In the colourful bouncy castles she erects and in the children’s laughter that fill them up, she finds healing and new strength.

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the world’s largest producer of cobalt, a rare earth mineral that is essential in the production of technologies. In this hybrid documentary, South African artists Francois Knoetze and Amy Louise Wilson, together with Congolese historian Joe-Yves Salankang Sa-Ngol, trace the trans-continental journey of this precious metal: from its violent extraction in the mines of DRC to its sale on global stock markets. The Rock Speaks weaves a complex contemplation on an urgent ecological crisis that is fuelled by obscene labour practices that our technological systems demand.
