As a young development aid worker, Johannes Preuss witnessed the gold rush in Ghana. Years later, he returned as a filmmaker and shot a revealing documentary about legal and illegal gold mining (Ghanaian: “Galamsey”), the bloody conflict between the police and the miners, and the environmental destruction coming along with the digging.
