Joe Berlinger's CRUDE - Official Trailer

Three years in the making, this riveting new documentary from acclaimed filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Brother's Keeper, Paradise Lost, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster) tells the epic story of one of the largest and most controversial legal cases on the planet. An inside look at the infamous $27 billion "Amazon Chernobyl" case, Crude is a real-life, high stakes legal drama involving global politics, the environmental movement, celebrity activism, human rights advocacy, multinational corporate power, and the fate of disappearing indigenous cultures.

Subverting the conventions of advocacy filmmaking, this award-winning film explores a complex situation from all angles, bringing an important story of environmental peril and human suffering into focus. "Rarely have such conflicts been examined with the depth and power of Joe Berlingers documentary Crude. These real characters and events play out on the screen like a sprawling legal thriller." - Stephen Holden, The New York Times

Joe berlinger is a brave man. To take on Chevron Corp is like fightng a world power. They have resources to continue a legal battle fairly or unfairly for as long as they wish. Little guys, at times do win, but it has to be a miracle or someone tells the truth that will produce a just arbitration.

I don't think the native people have a chance to clean up the pollution unless the people of the world decide otherwise.

Those crooks defending the oil companies in this video are the scum of the earth. I'd like to see how their stance would change if one of their children were living (dying) in that filth. How do they sleep at night? karma will make sure they get theirs.

No it's not false. Exxon owes 16 billion dollars in clean up expenses. Not 1 penny will ever be paid.

But you a**holes won't spend 1 dollar on solar or wind or geothermal. All you have is expensive screwy ideas about nuclear reactors. And of course know how safe they are.

HA!

laws do not help because laws are made by the oil corporations. so whats would be your options? there is only one option left.
