End of the Rainbow

Tutto l'oro del mondo

Somewhere in Guinea a Western multinational is building a mine to extract huge amounts of gold in an area where the people live in utter poverty. The sudden chance for economic gain pits the locals against the foreign staff protected by military force under local authority, thus creating tension between two vastly different worlds. With masterful use of color photography, Nugent enquires into the impact of a culture with a strong economic and political power that keeps it in a dominant position.

Il regista / The Director

Robert Nugent (b. Australia) earned a degree in natural resource management while working on an International Monetary Fund project in Somalia. After collaborating with an aboriginal association for three years in Alice Springs, he took part in various United Nations programs in Afghanistan and Cambodia. He then earned a masters in documentary film from the Australian Film Television and Radio School, and ultimately founded his own production company.

«The mine brings with it a set of norms which, while rational and legal in one world, are incomprehensible and aberrant in the other. […] There are village bards, local chiefs, security personnel, engineers, army officers, gold dealers and farmers. The situation that they find themselves in reminds me of people in a Beckett play. They are striving for something positive, yet trapped by something that is largely negative».
