In the heart of South Africa’s "Place of Gold," a 30-billion-rand engineering marvel has emerged. This documentary investigates the construction of the Gautrain, Africa’s first high-speed rail system. We explore the massive archaeological and geological hurdles faced by teams as they tunneled beneath Johannesburg and navigated the treacherous, sinkhole-prone Dolomite Badlands.
