The small Colombian mining town of Marmato sits on $20 billion dollars in gold and the new global gold rush miners have taken notice. Marmato chronicles how the 8,000 inhabitants confront the Canadian mining company trying to displace them and to obliterate their 500-year history just to access the gold beneath their homes. Filmed over six years, Marmato is a canvas of magic realism and the confrontation with globalized mining.
