Synopsis
A large multinational and industrial gold mining company has arrived in a remote area of Guinea, West Africa. This desperately poor region has a long history of economic reliance on gold. The documentary is a melancholic portrait of the changes brought by the mine and of the universal human desire for a better life, revealing a world that is changing forever and intimately portrays the people who are grappling to respond to those changes. The changing landscapes and detailed close-ups of working villagers and heavy machinery present the story of transformation and struggle.
