The Hunt for Baltic Gold

The Hunt for Baltic Gold is a five-part episodic narrative set against a backdrop of the challenging and boys-ownadventure nature of amber hunting. We focus on individuals who demonstrate nerves of steel while the restless sea and stubborn land defy their attempts to amass this local treasure. Often serious and touching, but also humorous, the crux of the series is built on intertwining stories of fishers, prospectors, traders and craftsmen. Each episode of the series will tell the story of the people that live and breathe amber in their everyday lives. Viewers will get to learn about the long journey that the fossilised tree resin must undergo before it is sold. The series will shed light on the different methods of amber extraction as well as other aspects of the jewellery industry in Poland. (History Channel)
