The White Gold of the Tundra: Trading Mammoth Ivory

This documentary follows the strange trade in mammoth ivory across the frozen tundra of Russia's far north. Since the ban on elephant hunting, tusks and skeletons unearthed from the permafrost have become a valuable, legal source of ivory. It follows the hunters who dig for these Ice Age remains and the market that pays for them. Fascinating and revealing, it uncovers a booming business built on the bones of extinct giants.
