The Digital Dump (2005)

Join BAN’s investigative team as they tour the second-hand electronics market and dumps in Lagos, Nigeria. Watch as we unveil environmental and data security threats that leave us all vulnerable.
Digital Dump pinpoints the horrific impact to human health and the environment in developing countries that results from illegal exports and exploitative practices purveyed by certain segments of the electronics recycling industry today. The right information can help us all make the responsible decision with our e-waste, and Digital Dump delivers just that.”
