A long-term investigation by a group of international journalists into precious minerals and a gold mine of information
In March 2017, the Mediapart main offices located in a dead-end of the 12th arrondissement in Paris are in effervescence: 60 million confidential documents have just been leaked world-wide. Most of them are bank data in every language originating in Africa. Several ex-colonial nations, as Belgium, France and Italy to name a few, are directly implicated. The team at Mediapart launches itself into an investigation with one obsession: finding the original source of the leak because, compared to the Panama Papers and the Malta Files, this is an atomic bomb.
