Galamsey is a journey into the lowest level of the global gold supply chain in Ghana. I documented a system driven by desperation and international demand, where nearly one million people work in illegal mines in extreme, often life-threatening conditions, with limited options for survival. Their labour sustains global markets while rivers are poisoned, forests are erased, and communities are trapped in intergenerational poverty. This work exposes the true cost of gold and the structures that sustain it, showing how global consumption is built on local collapse and invisible human labour.
