Winner of an Oscar® nomination and dozens of awards around the world, this great black-and-white classic is a nostalgic recollection of the Klondike gold rush at its frenzied height. "City of Gold" uses a collage of still photographs to compare Dawson City when the gold from its river beds flowed freely through stores, taverns and dance halls, with the more tranquil city of the 1950s.
Pierre Berton, well-known author and TV personality, was born in Dawsom City, and his father spent 40 years in the Klondike during those agonizing months when would-be prospectors struggled through steep passes and wintry trails to reach the fabled gold fields 2,000 miles north of civilization. (22 minutes, 1957)
