H2oil - A documentary about the Canadian tar sand oil

In the vast, pristine forests of Western Canada, the 'war for water' has already begun...

Thanks to Alberta's Athabasca oil sands, Canada is now the biggest oil supplier to the United States. A controversial billion-dollar industry is heavily invested in extracting crude from the tarry sands through a process so toxic it has become an international cause for concern. Four barrels of glacier-fed spring water are used to process each barrel of oil, then are dumped, laden with carcinogens, into leaky tailings ponds so huge they can be seen from space.
