Film Opening - CRUDE: The Real Price of Oil

July 31, 2009 | By The Pachamama Alliance

More than three years in the making by distinguished filmmaker Joe Berlinger, CRUDE is a high-stakes David vs. Goliath legal drama with 30,000 Amazon rainforest dwellers facing down the 5th largest corporation on the planet. The New York Times says, "rarely have such conflicts been examined with the depth and power of...Crude." Howard Zinn calls it "an amazing, sobering, heartbreaking film... Beautifully shot, it captures the magic of the Amazon... and also the beauty of the Ecuadorian people." And Confessions of an Economic Hit Man Author John Perkins calls it "a piece of magic... absolutely the most powerful, emotion-provoking, heart-wrenching, best documentary I have ever seen."
