No Gold for Kalsaka

Since a long time ago, in the African country of Burkina Faso, the people of the small village of Kalsaka had mined and used gold for their economic sustenance. With the coming of a British multinational mining corporation, however, that was brought to a close as the people were zoned out completely of the mining benefits from their own land. The village commune, nevertheless, led by Jean-Baptiste, fights hard to take back what belongs to the locals.{{Cite web |url=https://www.filmfive.net/no-gold-for-kalsaka.html |title=No Gold for Kalsaka {{!}} Documentary {{!}} By Michael K Zongo |publisher=Film Five |access-date=November 12, 2020}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.crew-united.com/en/No-Gold-for-Kalsaka__249791.html |title=No Gold for Kalsaka {{!}} Pas d'Or pour Kalsaka |publisher=Crew United |access-date=November 12, 2020}}{{Cite web |url=https://en.akhbar1.com/no-gold-for-kalsaka-a-burkina-faso-community-s-lost-land-37242.html |title=No Gold for Kalsaka: A Burkina Faso community's lost land |publisher=Akhbar 1 |access-date=November 17, 2020}}
