RED GOLD

Red Gold | trailer from felt soul media on Vimeo.



I saw this documentary a couple years ago at the Banff Mountain Film Festival and really enjoyed it.
I grew up in an area with an economy based solely around mining and realize how they can be short term boost. But what they don't tell you is how unsustainable they are , and how tsxing they can be on the environment. I assure you NO MINE IS A CLEAN MINE. resources are resources and as soon as the minerals in the ground are gone the landscape will be changed forever.
Poisoning waterways as important as this to the food chain will have impacts beyond what is recognizable right now. The mines they are proposing simply cannot happen.
