Sandwiched between Togo and Nigeria, the West African nation of Benin is home to the Perma gold mine, where impoverished workers risk their lives in the desperate hope of striking it rich. Government officials deny reports of high mortality while Perma’s survivors recount the mine’s devastating impact on their families and the local economy.
