In the Ilakaka Valley, man has become a slave to a dream born in the late 1990s when a farmer found a blue pebble in a stream. Since then, the ground of an open-air mine has been dug relentlessly in the hope of making a fortune from sapphire. For 1.70 euros per day. A report enhanced by drawings by illustrator Bo Soremsky.
