Amazonas Clandestino

Season 1 Episode 4: The curse of gold

Gold has always driven people crazy! The gold rush is still in full swing today - right in the middle of the Amazon. Thousands of treasure hunters defy the adverse living conditions of the jungle and illegally dig for the shiny precious metal. Destruction of the rainforest, pollution from toxic chemicals and criminal activities are the result. The gold prospectors themselves are mostly poor as the main prize is won by greedy bosses. In the Peruvian Amazon region of Madre de Dios, reporter David Beriain succeeds in gaining a rare insight into the unscrupulous gold business.
