Gold (1955 film)

Gold is a 1955 Canadian short documentary film, directed by Colin Low for the National Film Board of Canada.

The film documents the process of placer gold mining near Dawson City, Yukon and shows how gold is trapped and hand-sorted before becoming gold brick.

Low followed up with his 1957 film City of Gold, which centred on the history of Dawson City during the Klondike Gold Rush.
