Mira Goold&#39;s Gold (2011) y un panel de discusi&oacute;n con Goold y la ahora adulta Kalen Campos, quien a los ocho a&ntilde;os tuvo un cameo en la pel&iacute;cula y escuch&oacute; las conversaciones de Goold con su padre sobre las posibilidades.

Goold's Gold (2011) Mostrando y Debate en Panel

Join us for an offbeat adventure following Valdez local and geophysicist, Jonathan Goold as he hunts for gold where no one has set foot, on land exposed by Alaska&#39;s melting glaciers. See Goold&#39;s Gold (2011) and &nbsp;a panel discussion with Goold and a now grown Kalen Campos who at eight years old had a cameo in the film and was party to Goold&#39;s conversations with his father about the possibilities. Your presence supports our mission of preserving Valdez&#39;s culture.&nbsp; This is also the night we draw a winner for the <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/mccarthy-is-for-lovers-adventure-give-away" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: initial; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">McCarthy is for Lovers Raffle</a> package.
