The Golden Land

Environment/Society, Slovakia 2019

Set on the backdrop of a seemingly unassuming dispute between the citizens of three small villages in Eastern Slovakia and a big American oil company, we observe how the voice of an individual transforms from a droll yelp to a fundamental attitude towards life. The earth is full of treasures, yet everyone sees values in something else. For the locals, true wealth lies in simple cohabitation with the earth, for investors it lies hundreds of meters below it. The locals are bound by the desire to protect their sanctuary, the investors want to drill for oil. What will the outcome of this clash be and who will reap what?
