Orphans of the Sahara: Exile

The final episode of this three-part series goes inside the French uranium mining zone in Niger - the most deprived nation on earth. Eighty percent of Niger's people are illiterate and 90 percent have no electricity. Yet under Tuareg land in the north of the country lies a massive and lucrative reserve of uranium which a French state-owned corporation has been mining - with fees to the Niger government - for over 40 years.
