Gold Rush

Gold Rush

2025 · 16 min

Colorado, 1860: Three women, a mule and a map drawn by an illiterate to get to the gold sometimes found on the high mountains. The hardships of their endeavor first bring a lonely foreign widow closer together with the dubious German emigrants Olga and Dora. But the more time they spend in the harsh wilderness, the more manners deteriorate and the last bit of humanity gives way to ruthless greed. A feminist western based on the ballad "The Gold Diggers" by Emanuel Geibel.

Directed by Justina Jürgensen

The Sorbs are a national minority in Saxony, Germany. While there were still living approximately 50,000 Sorbs in the 1990s, today there are only 5,000 left who can speak the language. The core settlement area was destroyed by coal mining and the language is now threatened with extinction. But the community of Crostwitz sticks together, traditions are cherished and community is lived. Despite limited resources, the football club, which forms the centre of one Sorbian village, has bravely held its own in the regional league, Saxony's second-highest division, for years. Footballer Franc (15) takes us into his world.
