In the first place, this documentary caught my attention when it won the Student Academy Award, so I had to take a closer look to it - and it was totally worth it!
It's a film that spotlights the various facets of gold mining in Ghana in a very interesting way! The documentary fuses the rigour of non-fiction storytelling with the character of entertaining filmmaking, a must see!
Without a doubt, the special quality of this documentary is it's factual consistency in what concerns an insight into the gold mining and the dangers that comes with it: environmental pollution. Without a moralizing undertone, the documentary reveals us the need to deal with this issue in order to put an end to the problematic structures that people are confronted with in Ghana each and every day.
It is very evident that the director is doing his best to stay with the facts, illustrate them in an appropriate way and get the right people to say what is on their mind. This special approach gave me a strong feeling of taking part in the process and not being just showed the edited mash-up of an ordinary documentary we all already know.
I absolutely suggest watching it to figure out what is also going on on the planet apart from the globally well-known problems.
