In 1992, the Texaco Oil Company left Ecuador after nearly 30 years. The next year, a lawsuit was filed against the corporation on behalf of 30,000 indigenous people, alleging that Texaco dangerously polluted their land and water. The on-going legal battle is the subject of a documentary called "Crude." As VOA's Rosanne Skirble reports, "Crude" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and had its commercial release earlier this month.

The longer Chevron delays reparation the more it should pay as clean up costs will only increase.
