Yesterday there was another (Dutch) documentary about the abysmal situation of most miners in Congo (some of them children). I think drawing attention to this is good but the format and answers where misguided and counterproductive.

The formula of the program is the usual:
1) Appeal to emotion and stoke revulsion at child labour to get people outraged
2) Interview experts who have 'dirt'
3) Appoint some super indirect random scapegoats that you can get on camera and have a 'brave' interviewer confront them

I know: it's the outrage that counts. Truth and solutions are of secondary interest. But let's look at those too.
The solution the programs seems to suggest is: never buy from people implicated in child labour or corruption.
