As a consumer of oil, I feel guilty and embarrassed that this is going on. I for one will never buy my fuel from a Shell gas station.

I'm sorry but this is not true. People try to say the same thing about BP. Parent companies receive a cut of profits from EVERYTHING sold at the station. They also receive a franchising fee upwards of 70,000 dollars. If people are not shopping at the station then no one is going to open up a new one which means less money. Boycotting is bad publicity as well and pressures the parent company to change it 's ways.

@strykkerr Most of the time in most places, gas stations get their gas from local distributors not from the parent corporation. They are also owned by small business owners, not by the parent corporation. Boycotting them only hurts small business owners. Second, try and find something you own that would be possible without oil. Everything you own and everything you rely on for convenience has it's hands in oil somewhere. Not buying from shell gas stations does NOTHING to help this problem.

cont'd It's terribly saddening to see the effects that this gas flaring is having on these innocent people. It is violating their constitutional and fundamental right to life. It made me angry to see the diplomatic way that the CEO of Shell talked to these people, dismissing and belittling their concerns, smiling, putting on a good face, and simply trying to appease these people and shut them up so he could continue doing what he was doing to their communities.
-
cont'd They have made no effort to stop the flaring; they've only come up with loquatious and cunning ways of disguising the fact that they don't even intend to stop, and scapegoated, blaming the lack of government funding for their inability to stop gas flares.

@5000mrziggy yeah genius, blame the americans, when ALL OF THE AMERICAN OIL COMPANIES have stopped gas flaring because it's inhumane and they recognized that. do your research before leaving retarded comments, Shell is a Dutch company if you didn't notice from their accents. If you said kill the Shell CEO, however, I would agree completely

i like this film ! there's lots to talk about there apart from the subject matter, suffering of the people, and great message that it puts across .
i love the style of the documentary, the music, the feel of the whole piece, the pace ! choice of locations and the content.
the narrative voices were nice ...and some great interviewees and pleasant cinemaphotography which i'll talk about later once i've finished watching the the other 20 miniutes of the film.

Thanks Gil... please go on :)
It's a shame that only the quality of the video compells you to comment. And although you did say you were going to comment back after watching the video, you never did. It doesn't take 11 hours to watch a 30 minutes video. The point of the video was not to show its quality but how the Introduction of Shell to the Niger-Delta has demoralized the lives of the her countless inhabitants. I was wondering instead of just taking Shell to court, is there a way to sue them for money like they do in US?
They've been there, done that. In 2004 the Nigerian senate ordered Shell to pay 1.5 billion dollars in compensation to communities. Shell refused. In 2006 the high court upheld the ruling. Shell appealed and, like in several hundred smaller cases against the oil companies, no money is ever paid. The appeals process drag on for years. Many Nigerian lawyers argue that the oil companies are above the law in Nigeria.
