Who doesn't know the countless documentaries and photographs about the misery on the world’s richest continent in natural resources such as diamonds, gold and coltan? Featuring child soldiers who, as guerrillas, not only dedicate themselves unpaid to developing and securing the distribution of our valuable raw materials, but also work towards a career as brand ambassadors. To emphasise this ambition, in the words of Coco Chanel - „Hard times arouse an instinctive desire for authenticity.“
