THE PRICE OF GOLD

Mali produces the most profitable gold in the world...
at what cost ?

Millions of tons of gold-bearing ore are processed with cyanide - and 
supplies to the Occident millions of $s of benefits.
In Africa, remain the toxic dusts and slimes, the infested waters;
the sacrificed workers of an unamed apartheid;
and the malian exterior debt, infinite...

But, facing the multinational mining companies "adding value" to the 
Sadiola's gigantic gold deposit, the local population summons up its 
strength. The film director is engaged in their plight.
The Sadiola's Commune, supported by NGOs, investigates and publicly 
denounces...

Then, the Exploitation Company are pressured to organize a concertation 
dialogue...

scientific documentary,
true detective story
or tragic trick ?
