Price Of Gold

Sven Zellner, Tschingunshaw Borchu

Mongolia is known for its original Nomad culture as well as the spectacular natural landscape. Since gold deposits have been discovered however, both are threatened. Mongolians are breaking with their traditions and have started to plunder their land digging for gold. They are using mercury in their extraction of gold and thereby poisoning their environment. Gold rush rules Mongolia. The film tells the story of a couple of men who set forth on the search for the precious metal.
