Donlin Gold is a massive open pit mine proposal in Western Alaska. It is considered one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in the world. Part of the plan for this remote mine is to create a 320 mile long natural gas pipeline along the iconic Iditarod trail.
For a year and a half my partner have been working on a documentary about this mine. We live in south central Alaska and have done three human powered expeditions to the region to learn more about this project and it's implications for Alaskans, now and in the future.
We used fat bikes and packrafts to traverse 1,000 miles of Alaskan wilderness.
Now we are trying to produce this film and we need help. We have started a kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the final production. Please take a minute to watch the trailer, share it with friends and if possible consider a donation.
Please help us tell this important and timely story.
Thank you.
