520    Sand wars is a surprising investigation into one of the 
       most consumed natural resources on the planet. Due to the 
       high demand for sand, the planet's reserves are being 
       threatened. Three-quarters of the world's beaches are in 
       decline and bound to disappear as victims of erosion, or 
       of sand smuggling. Triggered by building construction, 
       smuggling bands, or "sand mafias," plunder beaches and 
       rivers for this highly prized commodity. Sand has quietly 
       infiltrated every corner of our world. Melted and 
       transformed into glass, it sits on every shelf. It is also
       the source of silicon dioxide, a mineral found in our 
       wines, cleaning products and detergents, paper, dehydrated
       foods, toothpaste, cosmetics and an astounding variety of 
       other products we use on a daily basis. Houses, 
       skyscrapers, bridges, airports, and sidewalks are all 
       partially comprised of sand. It is an elementary particle 
       that is the foundation of our modern development. Sand is 
       seen as a free material, a staple of holidays spent on the
       shore, in unlimited supply. But is this omnipresent 
       material inexhaustible? Can the available quantity match 
       an ever-increasing demand that is constantly fed by the 
       need for human lodging and expansion? What will be the 
       consequences of sand extraction on the environment and 
       life on the planet? Sand Wars will take us around the 
       world to witness this new gold rush firsthand. Written and
       directed by Denis Delestrac. Produced by Guillaume 
       Rappeneau, Laurent Mini, Karim Sama and Nathalie Barton.
