Dirty Gold War. Gold in The Amazon
Description
The origin of most gold in the jewelry industry is uncertain. While it is a symbol of luxury for many, it is a source of pollution and destruction for others. Illegal and environmentally unsound mining practices in Brazil and Peru create social and environmental conflicts that reach beyond local areas, and we as consumers play a role. This film reveals important issues about the Amazonian gold rush that is continuing in silence and indifference, regardless of the interests of indigenous peoples and of our planet.
