Netflix secures UK rights for Passion Distribution's "Gold: A Journey with Idris Elba"

Netflix has acquired UK rights to Pioneer Productions’ premium feature documentary "Gold: A Journey with Idris Elba" (1x90') distributed by Passion Distribution. Idris Elba embarks on an adventure that explores gold’s meaning, how it has shaped cultures, religions, and entire economies around the world.

In this enthralling documentary, award-winning actor Idris Elba explores some of the most extraordinary places on Earth: he meets the Ashanti King in Ghana - a nation built on gold; he descends one of the deepest gold mines in the world; and he’s even given access to the top-secret gold reserves stored under the Bank of England.

"Gold: A Journey with Idris Elba" was conceived and shaped by the World Gold Council with the support of their members and it will be launched on Netflix in the UK and Ireland on Wednesday 24th July.

The documentary was executive produced by Peter Collins and directed by Paul Bradshaw, with Colin Byne, Lucy Joyner and Helen Shearer as Producers. Nick Tanner, Passion Distribution’s Director of Sales and Co-Productions, brokered the deal.
