About This Movie

Bleeding Gold is a stark and unsettling documentary that plunges into the heart of Venezuela's Orinoco Mining Arc. It’s not just about mining; it’s about the tangled web of crime and environmental destruction that emerges from this place. The film's tone is grim, capturing a somber reality where the relentless pursuit of gold leads to a devastating ecocide. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to fully absorb the consequences faced by both the land and its people. With a rawness that’s sometimes hard to watch, it gives voice to the human rights violations occurring in the shadows of greed. It’s distinctive in the way it melds urgent themes of ecological crisis and social injustice, making it a necessary piece of documentary filmmaking.
