Common Heritage

О фильме

‘Common Heritage’ is an urgent response to the rush of deep-sea mining for rare earth minerals, exposing how reverberant layers of industrialisation, colonialism and territorial claim have affected the way we relate to our environment. Highlighting the fantasies we construct and investigating the relationship between exploration and exploitation, the film draws into focus how these romanticised stages are in fact borders of conquest, annexed for geopolitical territory appropriation and mineral resources.
