Gold Fever

Coveted, revered and obsessed from time immemorial there are few other substances on earth, if any, that have evoked the same timeless passion as gold. Ghana has a rich history with gold. Formerly called the Gold Coast under British colonial rule, it has formed the backbone of it's economy since records began. However, the price of gold has become increasingly disconnected from the metal itself driven more by financial speculators than by actual demand and with little regard for the far-reaching effects on the countries where it is mined. "Gold Fever' is a journey Ghana, exploring the repercussions of the changes in the price of this enigmatic metal and begs the question: What is the real price of gold?
