Pakta Ledak The Pact of the Blast

Synopsis

Sand mines on active volcanoes are feeding Indonesia’s unprecedented economic growth and infrastructure expansion. Bridges, roads, airports, renewable energy technologies, and massive sea walls are being built with the remains of volcanic eruptions. A vast fleet of miners and trucks are intervening in the deep time drift of plate tectonics. Farms are churned up, villages terrorised by violence, and politicians are paid to keep quiet.
