Blood minerals
Sinan Can follows the route of the mineral talc in Afghanistan. He discovers something that consumers have no idea about, namely that by buying paracetamol or cosmetics, for example, they are unintentionally financing terrorism. Afghanistan is one of the richest countries in the world when it comes to raw materials. Gold, lithium, cobalt, marble and also talc. Terror groups such as IS, Al Qaeda and Taliban are after that country's minerals to finance their terrorist actions. From the mountains, where the talc is extracted, to its arrival at the port in Rotterdam, Sinan Can investigates how terrorist groups make millions from the mineral.
