The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in.

Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Color of Gold est un film documentaire sud-africain réalisé par Don Edkins en 1992. Il évoque la vie des mineurs basotho qui quittent le Lesotho pour aller travailler dans les mines d'Afrique du Sud, placés dans des conditions de vie difficiles et coupés de leurs familles. Deux ans plus tôt, le même réalisateur avait consacré un documentaire, Goldwidows: Women in Lesotho, au quotidien des épouses de ces mineurs restées au Lesotho. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
