A Rock and a Hard Place
Directed by Cliff CainesA Rock and a Hard Place is a portrait of Red Lake, a small Northwestern Ontario community built atop one of the world's richest underground gold mines. The film examines a modern-day gold rush as residents reflect on the boom and bust grind of life in a gold mining town. Following the extraction of gold from 7000ft underground to the surface, voices from the deep reveal a community long-dependent on a single resource; including the threat of relocation due to open-pit mine development.
