The Money Stone

As the surging gold rush draws both local prospectors and eager foreign corporations to the impoverished west-African nation of Ghana, struggling families must decide whether to put their kids in school or take a gamble by sending them to the dangerous pits. The Money Stone takes an intimate look at the stark choices some children face in hopes of finding a better future in "...a world where capitalism has taken a turn for the worse." (The Boston Globe). Winner of Best Documentary at the Black Star International Film Festival.
