The Shadow of Gold
Directed by Sally Blake, Denis Delestrac, and Robert LangThe Shadow of Gold takes an unflinching look at how the world's favourite heavy metal is extracted from the earth. The film explores both sides of the industry: the big-time 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.
