About the Film
This page was last updated: January 9, 2011
The remote Fijian mining town of Vatukoula, which literally means 'rock of gold', happens to be located less than 30 kilometers from the source of one of the world’s most recognized brands of bottled water, Fiji Water. This film tells Vatukoula’s story, exploring the complex connections between industry, community, and the global environment from a local Fijian perspective. The film also offers constructive lessons for communities around the world that are struggling to harness wealth from their natural resources while striving towards sustainable development.
