Deep in the Philippines, entire communities have been built around the search for gold.
In this episode, we travel into a remote gold-mining settlement and follow the process from the tunnels beneath the mountain to the tiny pieces of gold that eventually make it to the scales. We crawl underground with local miners, see the conditions they work in, and learn just how much effort, risk and time can go into finding something so small.
What begins as a story about gold quickly becomes a story about the people whose lives depend on it, the families built around the mines, and the strange contrast between one of the world’s most valuable materials and the difficult reality of extracting it.
This is what it really takes to find gold in the Philippines.
