TAKE-ONE ACTION FILM FESTIVAL at Tullynessle Hall
27 January 2012

TakeOne Action Film Festival comes to the hall on Saturday 25th February at 7:30pm. The film to be shown is 'Blood in the Mobile'.  Entrance is £4 - tickets at the door on the night.

Take One Action’s annual film festival is held in September at both Edinburgh Filmhouse and Glasgow Film Theatre. The festival features a selection of high quality documentary and drama films from across the world, accompanied by panel discussions, workshops and special events. 
In addition to the annual festival in September, Take One Action also organise year-round outreach screenings and events throughout Scotland and with other partners in the UK. The Take One Action Festival Tour takes the best of the annual film festival on the road, bringing new films to audiences across Scotland. 
 
The presentation on 25th February is    'Blood in the Mobile'
(Dir: Frank Poulsen; Denmark, 2010; 82 mins;  English; Unrated – Guidance rating 15+)
 
What is the price of a text message? This is the question that takes director Frank Poulsen on a hugely personal journey in this rollercoaster hit documentary to connect Africa’s ‘heart of darkness’ with the ivory towers of European multinationals.
 
 In the past 15 years, five million people have died in Congo’s civil war. The UN has consistently reported a connection between the conflict and the control of the international trade in minerals used in products such as mobile phones and
computers. Reaching the dangerous and normally inaccessible Bisie mine area, Poulsen’s extraordinary journey reveals child labourers in death-defying conditions, before he returns home to ask his phone company, Nokia, the largest in the world, just what they are doing to halt the cycle of poverty and conflict.
