Despite some initial mine shutdowns and a sharp decline in the jewellery demand, the COVID-19 crisis has driven gold to the highest price in its history and seen an unprecedented increase in demand for gold investment products. Banks’ gold reserves are also reaching an all-time high. What’s driving this demand?\nCOVID-19 or not, this film screening of The Shadow of Gold and post-screening round table discussion attempts to better understand how gold is affecting your community, your environment, and what can be done about it?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you!
