Gold is naturally associated with wealth - if Scrooge McDuck were to dive into a pool of pennies, would we be as impressed? - but, as discussed in this fascinating film series for the World Gold Council from AKQA, its uses go beyond the shiny nugget.
Obsensibly a serious dose of goldaganda, The Golden Thread succeeds in being genuinely intriguing, helped by the presentation by Dr Hannah Fry and thoughts from the ten leading thinkers from around the world whose work uses the metal.
Covering topics from clean-tech innovators using gold to convert carbon dioxide to biofuel, to nanotechnologists using gold to treat cancer, to NASA engineers reliance upon the metal in space instrumentation, The Progress Film Company's Matt Hopkins tells the stories with clarity and variation, which makes for surprising viewing.
