| 520 | |a "Arlit, deuxième Paris is a case study in migration and environmental racism set in an uranium mining town in the Sahara desert of Niger. Here European corporations extracted nuclear power and profits, leaving behind illness due to radiation, contamination and unemployment. Arlit flourished during the oil crunch of the early 70s when its uranium mines employed 25,000 workers from around the world in high paying jobs. It had frequent international flights, electricity, and nightlife, earning it the nickname, 'le deuxiéme Paris' (the second Paris). Then came the collapse in uranium prices and the Tuareg rebellion against the central government in Niamey. The European companies abandoned it, leaving behind the derelict machinery littering the desert which is so memorable an image in the film. Arlit demonstrates the ultimate futility of overseas investment in a commodity-based industry as a strategy for development"--Container. | ||
