“Tarnished” takes you behind the scenes to show how that glittering piece of jewelry came to be, in settings far removed from Madison Avenue or Rodeo Drive or your local mall. You’ll witness Peruvian miners using their bare feet to mix toxic mercury into barrels of gold-bearing sediment. You’ll see the gnarled hands and callused feet of boy miners, old before their time in Burkina Faso. You’ll experience what it’s like, in the forests of Panama or along the coast in Turkey, to choose between desperately needed jobs and the protection of land and traditional cultures that could be lost forever.
