Gold Fever

Synopsis

This documentary aims at preserving Novobrdo castle from vandals on a gold hunt. Legend has it that there is a “gold chest” underneath the castle. Illegal excavations, undertaken because of the “gold chest” legend have not only hurt the castle, but also the city’s ancient pagan culture, its proud heritage. Novobrdo is one of the poorest Kosovo Municipalities, characterized with bad infrastructure, low job opportunities and low living standard. Regardless of it, interethnic relations are very stabile here, with both communities wanting to live together in peace. The only wealth that Novobrdo has is its cultural heritage, which is now protected under the Ahtisaari package.
