Uppland

An architect and a filmmaker from Europe visit a town in the remote highlands of Liberia, once a thriving mining community, now decaying and desolate: a concrete ruin in the West African bush. This is a film about architecture, about the remnants of colonialism, and the spiritual cost of industrial mining.

This dataset consists of the video of the film.
