National Geographic Documentaries - Guerrilla Gold Rush

Seizoen: 2012 - Aflevering: 29 / 1244 - Eerst uitgezonden: 15 juni 2012 - Episode ID: 651828

aka: Colombias Gold War With the price of gold soaring to historic highs, Colombia is in the throws of a gold rush unlike anything it has seen in years. Across dense jungle and the rural countryside, wildcat miners are tearing up huge swaths of land in a frenzied search for the precious metal. But even more worrying for authorities is that this gold may be fueling a new chapter in the civil conflict that has defined Colombia for the last five decades. Navigating the ever-shifting front lines, National Geographic correspondent Mariana van Zeller examines how left wing guerrillas, criminal organizations and international mining companies are all staking their claim to Colombia's gold. http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/episodes/guerrilla-gold-rush/
