Insignificant Specks of Dust in a Tapestry of Stars
Kyllachy
A critical reflection on illegal precious metal mining under harsh conditions with observations of moon exploration. By juxtaposing two motifs—the exploitation of Earth’s resources and miners laboring to extract dwindling gold deposits in Africa—the film raises important ethical questions about the cost of progress and the exploitation of natural resources.
This short film is part of the programme Shorts: Human Nature.
