Petroleo en Casanare parte 2 (Big Oil in Colombia -Part 2)

(english below) Un recorrido entre los nefastos afectos de la explotación petrolera en el departamento de Casanare nos cuestiona profundamente acerca de la presencia de empresas transancionales en el territorio colombiano y sobre la viabilidad de la explotación petrolera. Una fuerte acusa contra la BP y demás empresas acerca del trato laboral, de las responsabilidades en las violaciones de DDHH y de la contaminación del medio ambiente.


This documentary tells the devastating story of the discovery and exploration of Oil in Casanare, northeast Colombia and the strategy of Big Oil, in this case British Petroluem, for looting oil resources.

Around 300,000 people live in Casanare. In the past 20 years, three percent (3%) of the population have been murdered or disappeared. Many more have been forced to abandon their lands and and peasant farmer livelihoods due to violence by the joint actions of Colombian armed forces and paramilitary groups. This climate of fear relates in with investor "security" for BP's oil flow and profits resulting, assuring that their is no grassroots opposition to the oil extraction.

In light of the need for action on climate change, this hidden history raises questions around 1)the effectiveness of demanding carbom emissions reduction from the fossil fuel industry that use strategies of war to ensure their continued oil and profits flow?, 2) whether solidarity with Casanarean communities is action on climate change, as they begin to reorganise again in 2010? and 3) climate justice and popular ownership of oil resources?
