I came across this documentary & was amazed. The film and pictures of a time most people know very little about. Gold rushes brought out the best and worst in people. I've seen other documentaries about the Klondike gold rush and how the law was you had to haul 2 tons of supplies over a mountain pass or the Mounties wouldn't let you pass. Many people died. There's even a picture of Donald Trump's grandpappy's hotel, brothel & restaurant. He took the dead frozen horse meat from the Chilkoot Pass to feed the miners. The history that's shown of the silent film era is impressive. Also the film was nitrate film which was very flammable and dangerous. Not much of the early silent film era survived the ravages of time. This film is very informative and enjoyable to watch. It mentions the native peoples who lost their land and their way of life was decimated due to gold rush and means to extract gold. It poisoned the rivers and almost killed the salmon runs on which many native people depended on. I highly recommend watching this excellent documentary film.
