What is the price of a sapphire?
Documentary Feature Film
Saffira narrates the experiences and challenges of various characters in the world of sapphire mining in Madagascar: miners, intermediaries, artists, paramilitaries, and exporters. Through their stories, the film explores the economic, social, and cultural aspects of sapphire extraction and trade, revealing the complexities and conflicts inherent in this industry. In early 2024, the P70 Foundation contacted me with an offer to join the Saffira project team as a screenwriter and co-director. In March, we were shooting for five weeks in Madagascar, and currently the film is in post- production.
