As the global demand for the super food avocados has soared, Chile has become the world’s third largest exporter of avocados. But the community of Petorca, Chile, say drought, and the insatiable appetite for avocados, has brought desperate water shortages and penury. This film explores a quiet water war: allegations of water theft, of exploitation, and of death threats against those who speak out, are rife. “When you export our avocados, you export our water” says one community member. The films seeks to bring impact by demanding sustainable future production, imploring balanced, fair reporting, interviewing all key parties concerned, including producers and the Chilean Government responsible for water rights. The government say it is bringing change but as exports continue to grow, 'Green Gold? 'explores an uncomfortable dilemma and our global moral responsibility.
