RIVER OF GOLD
63 min (USA, 2016)
WINNER 2018 Best Documentary Film Award
Director: Reuben Aaronson
Producers: Sarah Dupont, James Cavello, Reuben Aaronson
Cast: Sissy Spacek, Herbie Hancock, Ron Haviv, Donovan Webster, Enrique Ortiz
Narrated by Academy Award winners Sissy Spacek and Herbie Hancock, River of Gold is the disturbing account of a clandestine journey into Peru’s Amazon rainforest to uncover the savage unraveling of pristine jungle. Ron Haviv and Donovan Webster, two war journalists, led by Peruvian Enrique Ortiz, bear witness to the apocalyptic destruction in the pursuit of illegally mined gold with consequences on a global scale. Flash forward four years to a massive intervention by the Peruvian government. What will be the fate of this critical region of priceless biodiversity as these extraordinarily beautiful forests are turned into a hellish wasteland?
