Never before screened in the UK, the film reveals how glittering gold has a dark shadow as it takes an unflinching look at how the world’s favourite heavy metal is extracted from the earth.
It explores both sides of the industry: the large-scale mining companies that dig deep and lop off mountaintops to extract gold from low-grade ore, and the small-time miners – an estimated 20 million people in the world’s poorest nations – who extract gold by hand, often producing just enough to survive.
