| Summary |
Three years in the making, Crude tells the epic story of one of the largest and most controversial legal cases on the planet: the infamous $27 billion "Amazon Chernobyl" lawsuit pitting 30,000 rainforest dwellers in Ecuador against the U.S. oil giant Chevron. Winner of 19 international awards, Crude takes you inside a riveting, high stakes drama steeped in global politics, the environmental movement, celebrity activism, human rights advocacy, multinational corporate power, and rapidly-disappearing indigenous cultures. From filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Brother's Keeper, Paradise Lost, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster). Named One of the Top Five Documentaries of 2009 by the National Board of Review. "Critic's Pick! A legal thriller with rare depth and power." - Stephen Holden, The New York Times. "A powerhouse! This one means to shake you. And in Berlinger's hands, it does." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone. "Cinematic . . . Superb!" - Scott Foundas, LA Weekly."A gripping account of corporate malfeasance." - Tom Huddleston, Time Out London. System requirements: Adobe Flash Player. |
