Synopsis

In deplorable and extreme conditions, informal miners or "players" work in mine shafts hidden in the mangrove jungles. The mine shafts are dug down with minimal support, increasing the chances of collapse. They also immediately fill up with water as deep as 20 to 30 feet. The players then search for gold using a method called "compressor mining."
