“Rise Beyond Gold” (Film shown at the Wild & Scenic)

“This year, SYRCL’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival featured a film about the proposed re-opening of the Idaho-Maryland Mine, a relic gold mine in Nevada County, CA. The community faces a foreign corporation that would take the gold from under their property and leave a toxic legacy. Rise Beyond Gold raises bigger questions for the world at large. Why do we desire gold; and ultimately, is it worth it?” (from Minewatchnc: https://www.minewatchnc.org/post/rise-beyond-gold-film)
