A revealing documentary about the dirty side of gold shares what many Peruvians are all but too familiar with.

Like most tabloids, Trome lives off celebrity scandal and entertainment news. It runs photographs of scantily clad women, but unlike most tabloids, it lacks gory pictures or sensational crime stories on the cover; those are sent to the inside pages. It devotes entire sections to beauty and health tips for women, love and sex horoscopes, gossip columns and educational material for schoolchildren.

This sassy concoction has made Trome a "family tabloid" and the best-selling newspaper not only in Peru but also in the Spanish-speaking world. With 734,000 copies sold daily, Trome sells more than Peru's El Comercio (90,000), Argentina'sClar�n (280,000), Spain's El Pa�s (325,000) or Colombia's El Tiempo (400,000).
