OUT OF MINED

A documentary shining a light on the impact of diamond mining along South Africa’s West Coast.

Through the voices of local communities, scientists, environmentalists, and indigenous leaders, Out of Mined reveals the deep scars that coastal mining is leaving on South Africa’s West Coast. More than a story of destruction, the film is one of resilience and hope. It calls for change, reflection, and a shift in how we value the land, the ocean, and the diamonds we buy as symbols of love.
