The Gold Machine
Synopsis
A father and daughter are haunted by the legacy of their ancestor — a Victorian botanist sent to the Peruvian jungle to scout for coffee-growing land. Retracing the ancestor’s colonial adventure reveals the brutal reality of a major land grab from the native Ashaninka people who try to wrest their land and story back. The Gold Machine combines documentary and fiction to reveal the traces of a dark history.
