‘White Gold of Greenland’ Doc Adds Urgency to Arctic Island’s Push for Freedom Amid Trump Threat: It’s ‘Wanted to Be Independent for Decades’
A controversial doc titled 'The White Gold of Greenland' is helping the arctic island’s push for freedom amid the threat of annexation by Trump.
The doc, directed by Claus Pilehave and Otto Rosing, asserts that between 1854 and 1987, Danish mining companies extracted nearly $58 billion worth of a precious mineral that is crucial for producing aluminium, but pumped little of that massive wealth back into Greenland’s economy. Bévort also points out that Denmark’s censorious reaction “probably mattered much more than the film itself,” meaning that pulling “White Gold” caused an even greater stir in Greenland than its anti-colonial implications per se. Nielsen gave Vice President JD Vance the cold shoulder when he visited the Pituffik space base in northwestern Greenland in late March.
