Forget the Maltese Falcon–as this epic documentary vividly illustrates, gold is the stuff that dreams are made of. Originally broadcast on the History Channel, Gold! spans 6,000 years and five continents as it charts the odyssey of “the mineral that has changed the course of history” and man’s obsession with this most coveted of assets, which one poet called “a cursed thirst.” “Gold Fever,” the second of four volumes, is a more accessible introduction to this information-packed miniseries. Gold has played a vital role in civilization. It was first used for adornment and then became an object of worship. It was a crude (and is now a more refined) form of currency. Empires were created and entire cultures wiped out by gold. All of this plays out over a compelling four hours through dramatic reenactments and presentations of archival materials, artwork, contemporary footage, and insightful expert commentary. Volume 1 examines the tragic and bloody legacy of the Gold! The History of Man’s Greatest Obsession
