THE EMERALD EMPIRE - 1 x 52 minutes

Worshipped by Indian priests, coveted by Spanish conquistadors, and celebrated by connoisseurs as the most beautiful emeralds in the world, the lustrous, green gems of the Emerald Empire have maintained an almost supernatural hold on the human imagination for over 500 years. Journey into the mysterious depths of Colombia’s emerald-mining heartland, where tightfisted mine owners, hungry laborers, cynical government officials and opportunistic drug lords fight for the future of a region where emeralds may be, depending on who you talk to, a blessing or a curse.
