Transcript: [“MINE” is displayed over copper coloured rock. The screen then fades to black] Private property. Contaminated. Caution: historic mine waste. Health hazard. [Sign appears on screen that says, “CAUTION This area contains historic mine waste contaminated with arsenic, lead and other metals. Do not play or recreate in this area.” Bottom of the sign has a British Columbia logo, but the rest is illegible] The signs appeared suddenly in my hometown. After more than a hundred years of mining history, they just showed up. No explanation. No context. As if they had sprouted from the ground. Having been absent for so long, such warnings carry no weight. Too little, too late. My life is permeated with gold and moulded by human efforts to extract it. I understand this and I am not threatened by it. [Closeup of grey rock with gold coloured substance appearing in the seams of the rock] The old tailings piles are mine. In the winter we built huge snow jumps at the bottom and skied off them. Abandoned rusting trucks and pipes and machinery are mine. I discovered them with my friends. [Personal photos of friends snowboarding and sitting in the back of a SUV in a riverbed] The old hydraulics ditches are mine - perfectly graded for my mountain bike. The old mine road leading to my blueberry patch is mine, and so are the jars of jam I made from the fruit. The swimming hole is mine, where the cold creek from the mountains merges with warm water from the lake. [Scenes of rushing water appear accompanied by personal photos of friends playing in and around the water] I know it’s mine because I wrote my name on it hundreds of times, with a stick, on red oxidized muddy banks where no plants grow. [Caution sign reappears before the screen fades to black] Gold has a way of drawing people in, and history has a way of repeating itself. Chasing long-forgotten riches, the new signs mark the rise of a new mine in old country. [Photo from modern mine and then a historical mine appears on screen] They say my home has “proven values. High grade, high returns. Low environmental impact.” They call my trees overburden, my rocks ore, and my streams contaminated. The company answers questions I never asked. [Technical mining images appear on screen] Who cares about high grades or high returns? [Screen fades to black] Do the miners pick my blueberries when they are working beside the road? Do they put their feet in my creek? Are they making new tailings piles for skiing? New ditch lines for biking? Will they leave us new treasures in the bush? [Copper coloured rock reappears before screen fades to black] When the gold that defines this place is finally gone, what will remain? [Person lays on their stomach looking out from on top of a rock structure] [MINE Written and produced by Mica Jorgenson Images from: Amber McCarthy Barkerville Gold Mines Mica Jorgenson] |
