Rise Beyond Gold film now available online after premier at Wild & Scenic Film Festival!
A quaint community in the Sierra Foothills of northern California faces down a foreign corporation that would take the gold from under their property, threaten the drinking water supply, and leave a toxic legacy behind. Our film, Rise Beyond Gold, highlights the community's response as well as scientific perspectives about this proposal to re-open the Idaho Maryland Mine in Nevada County, CA.
Rise Beyond Gold also raises bigger questions for the world at large. Why do we desire gold, and ultimately, is it worth it?
The Environmental Impact Review for the mine proposal has been released, which means Nevada County is accepting public comments until April 4th, 2022.
Your voice matters! Click to sign the petition and submit comments.
Rise Beyond Gold premiered at Wild & Scenic Film Festival in 2021 and was the inspiration for an activism workshop as part of the festival. View that workshop here, including opening comments from the film's director, Jennifer Ekstrom. Stay tuned for additional screenings and workshops in support of the open comment period!
