Potosi, Bolivia Miners: 5 Centuries Deep is a photo documentary project that aims to explore the changing face of the mining community and mining industry in Potosi, Bolivia. Photographer Irina Zhorov hopes to bring more awareness to the situation of the miners, the surrounding towns, and the economic implications of foreign ownership.

CAFOD hopes to bring attention to the poor and poverty stricken gold miners who labor in dangerous situations, ultimately receiving none of the final value of the gold they mine.
