While the real-time aesthetic approach sporadically enthralls, it also reveals the narrow worldview that burdens the film.

Mongolia is known for its original Nomad culture as well as the spectacular natural landscape. Since gold deposits have been discovered however, both are threatened. Mongolians are breaking with their traditions and have started to plunder their land digging for gold. They are using mercury in their extraction of gold and thereby poisoning their environment. Gold rush rules Mongolia. The film tells the story of a couple of men who set forth on the search for the precious metal.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
The men's faces often vanish as they go underground, threatened with permanent disappearance: the risk of dynamite bursting early, or of rope breaking and leaving them trapped. The filmmakers find those faces again in private interviews above ground, each miner sitting away from the others to discuss how he feels about the job.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
A noncommittal, occasionally surreal portrait of hardscrabble lives and omnipresent risk.
The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore
Well-lensed observational doc exposes an obscure economic reality in Mongolia.
A scrappy portrait of half a dozen renegade gold-diggers.
