Filmmaker urges Nokia to shoulder more responsibility over human rights in Congo

In the film ["Blood in the mobile"] by director Frank Poulsen, the viewer visits mines [in] the east of Congo, whose minerals are utilised by manufacturers of telephones. The scene then changes to Finland, to the head offices of Nokia. The filmmaker asks Pekka Isosomppi, Nokia’s Director of Social Regulation if he had anything to say to the children in the mines. “That there is hope”, he responds...Nokia’s Senior Manager for Social & Ethical Issues Management, Mika Kiiskinen, [said]...“[The film] certainly used a good deal of artistic licence...We offered the director information, and an opportunity for discussion...We do all that we can...In recent months there has been much progress in auditing the smelters."
