The Liberian American Swedish Mining Company (LAMCO) was a mining company that mined iron-ore in northern Liberia at the Nimba massif. About 15,000 Swedes worked for Lamco and the project was cited as a successful example of international cooperation. But in this film the Swedish TV viewers were presented a very different picture. The film broke with the conventional African portrayal and the Swedes in Liberia were portrayed as colonial-era heirs. The film was supplemented with a debate.
