TONIGHT ONLY: RED GOLD at Walter Reade
Which is the more important natural resource? Salmon, or gold and copper? Ben Knight and Travis Rummel’s geo-political doc, Red Gold (2008), investigates the controversy surrounding this issue as it affects local rivers in Bristol Bay, Alaska. As activist filmmaking, it’s incredibly even handed and gives the opposition a fair chance, though it’s clear who the directors side with. For more info, visit the film’s website or visit the Walter Reade theater online.
