Caviar Dreams

Streaming video - 2017

Originally, caviar (i.e. sturgeon eggs) - the world's most desired delicacy - was a food of the poor. Over time, it became strictly reserved for the likes of Russian Czars and royalty throughout the world. Nowadays, it has become synonymous with wealth, fame, and indulgence. But why is that? What's so special about caviar? Beyond the assumed glamour and luxury associated with caviar, we uncover a story of over-fishing, poaching, near extinction, and a quest for sustainability as we journey through the history, culture, and environmental impact of this status symbol.
