Overview

Patri writes, narrates, and acts in "The Skin of Gold," a documentary that draws from her intimate diaries to revisit memories marked by her childhood in Venezuela and the risks taken in the search for the coveted gold in the Brazilian Amazon. In the notebooks she collects along the way, where she writes and draws about her experiences, she reveals the plight of women in the gold mines, where, like the land itself, everything is torn apart and exploited.
