For hundreds of years, humans lived in harmony with the beautiful landscape alongside the River Doce in Brazil. It was a paradise, a place where plants grew in abundance and animals of vibrant colours lived happily. But once explorers arrived a new chapter began. In this episode, Liz Bonnin recounts the history of mining in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, introducing to the key players of BHP, Vale and Samarco and we meet the people whose roots plunge deep into the earth of this place. What was life like before the 5th of November, 2015... and why did it all change?
