Description

Segovia goes into lockdown when a new gold war begins as Colombia’s broader conflict enters a new chapter. But is this an existential battle between legal and illegal, or is that just wartime propaganda?

__

This series follows reporters James Bargent and Mat Charles as they head to the Colombian town of Segovia, in search of the blood gold that contaminates global supply chains and ends up in the hands of everyday consumers. But what they find there challenges conventional understandings of conflict minerals as they expose how it is not only warlords and gangsters that grow rich from dirty gold, but also global political and business elites.

We have some incredible additional content, which will take you right into the thick of the action, and allow you to explore this head-spinning story with the depth it deserves.
