Watch END OF THE RAINBOW on Global Voices on PBS WORLD

“A refreshing change from hardline documentaries about foreign capital wreaking havoc in Third World countries,” Variety

END OF THE RAINBOW explores the human dimensions of industrial gold-mining in two remote locations. As the mine’s structures and equipment are dismantled in Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, then transported and reconstructed to begin gold processing in Guinea, West Africa, what unfolds is an elegiac portrait of the changes brought by the mine and of the universal human desire for a better life.

Watch a preview below:

END OF THE RAINBOW airs Sunday, August 30 at 10:00 PM on Global Voices on PBS WORLD (check local listings).

Upcoming Screenings

    Dirt! The Movie

    Community Cinema selections are screened in over 50 locations throughout the United States. In March, Community Cinema presents Dirt! The Movie, directed by Bill Benenson and Eugene Rosow.

    It’s under our feet and under our fingernails, but what is it? And how did it get there? Inspired by William Bryant Logan’s acclaimed book Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth, find out how industrial farming, mining, and urban development have led us toward cataclysmic droughts, starvation, floods, and climate change. Dirt is a part of everything we eat, drink, and breathe. Which is why we should stop treating it like, well … dirt.
