Mongolia's vast mineral deposits, including the massive Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold mine, have triggered a mining boom that promises to transform one of the world's poorest, most sparsely populated countries into a resource powerhouse. This film follows herders, government officials, and foreign mining executives as they weigh what the rush actually means on the ground. Nomadic families who have grazed the steppe for generations describe land disrupted by pits and trucks, while officials in Ulaanbaatar debate how much of the profit should stay in Mongolian hands versus flow to multinational investors who financed the operations. Interviews lay out the tension between a government eager for revenue to fund roads, schools, and hospitals, and communities worried about water, pasture, and a way of life that predates the mines by centuries. The film treats the boom as an open question rather than a foregone success story, tracking who wins and who is left negotiating for scraps as bulldozers move in.
