The Gold of Others - When minerals cost more than money
The arrival of mining giant Osisko sparks both hope and heartbreak in Malartic, a tiny Quebec community of 3600 people. Under Canada’s Mining Act, subsoil rights take precedence over property rights, forcing residents to sacrifice their homes, memories, and traditions for the country's largest open-pit gold mine.
Through the eyes of families and seniors, this film captures a community reckoning with the real cost of progress—a collision of dreams, heritage, and industry in a landscape forever changed.
