Acquisition of the new documentary CITIES OF GOLD: THE REALITY BEHIND THE MYTH

France tv distribution is happy to announce the acquisition of the new documentary Cities of Gold: the Reality behind the Myth.

These factual, which is distributed internationally by France tv distribution, will be launched during The Unifrance Rendez-Vous in Biarritz, which will take place from September 3 through 7, 2023.

Five hundred years after the Americas were discovered, a team of French, Columbian and English archeologists teamed up to gain a better understanding of the Spanish Conquest. Did the “Cities of Gold” described by the Conquistadors actually exist? Was gold as ubiquitous across the American continent as it was reported to be? And if so, where did it come from, how was it produced, and what purpose did it serve in the pre-Columbian civilizations?

Spanning from the Columbian mountains to the desert in Peru, the discoveries made in this archeological investigation revolutionize our perception of gold and its role over the last five hundred years.
