After the Gold(1997)

After the Gold Synopsis

More than a century ago, large scale gold mining was begun at Kolar Gold Field, Mysore. At its peak, the mines employed 36,000 workers who braved the dangerous labour and built a new life in the mining camp. Today, many third and fourth generation gold miners face the threat of not just unemployment but displacement from the area they have made their own. This film is a tribute to the "labouring lions" of Kolar Gold Field, a historical reconstruction of their work, culture and rich political traditions.

After the Gold (1997) is a documentary film directed by Janaki Nair, released on February 12, 1997 with a runtime of 1h 1m. It stars Janaki Nair, Narayan Nair, Kasinathan and J. Williams.
