  • Real cool video

  • Try watching with "Prediction of War" by Amon Amarth

  • Try watching this with the There Will Be Blood soundtrack over it for the horrifying story of the transformation of our landscape in the name of greed...

  • Very amazing Film! It shows how oil was processed before the modern distillation towers rose... and it was a well sophisticated technology about 100 years ago!

  • Gee--no OPEC...no terrorist bombings or sucking up to oil-exporting fascist regimes....and gasolline at 15 cents a gallon....I miss the old days

  • Wow, you talk about rough and dangerous working conditions! OSHA would have a conniption fit if these conditions existed today. Very interesting film, thanks for posting.
