This short, handcrafted 16mm documentary examines the fights against one of Colombia’s biggest open-sky gold-mine projects. Gold of Cajamarca is a black-and-white ballad through Tolima’s green mountains in the Colombian Andes, talking to Cajamarca’s valley inhabitants. On the surface lie green fertile lands and peaceful agriculture. But hidden under the ground, invisible fields of gold could reshape this whole world.
