The Gold Man Prize is known as the “Nobel Prize” for environmentalists. Every year since 1990, this famous North American award recognizes people who go through extraordinary struggles to preserve our planet.

Sébastien Viaud is a French teacher and a photographer. He went for a trip around the world meeting these tremendous people awarded by the Gold Man Prize.

The documentary "Gold Men" is the story of this trip. Spanning five countries, we discover five different human and environmental issues. Through these encounters 'Gold Men' offers a thoughtful reflexion about our present and our future.
