Published on Nov 9, 2011 by AmnestyInternational
In August and December 2008, two major oil spills disrupted the lives of the 69,000 or so people living in Bodo, a town in Ogoniland in the Niger Delta. Both spills continued for weeks before they were stopped. Three years on, the prolonged failure of the Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (Shell), a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell, to clean up the oil that was spilled, continues to have catastrophic consequences for the Bodo community.

Dutch "royal" SHELL:
The Dutch Royal family (The House of Orange) is still reportedly the biggest shareholder in the Dutch part of the group, although the size of its stake has long been a source of debate. Queen Beatrix, a billionaire in her own right, is the current head of the Dutch Royal family."
their 25% of shares = aprx. €5 000.000.000 every year

@shotsky94 There's an easy fix for that. Shell shouldn't drill for oil there. Both problems solved. Shell doesn't get shook down by the militants and the people would have their beautiful environment that they need to survive. I noticed that none of the people in the film worked for Shell, they lived off the land. SMHIS @ Shell not even hiring the locals.

C'mon, give me a break. Why didnt you talk about the millions that have been extracted from Shell and other oil companies in the region by the Niger Delta militants? I understand amnestyint. wants Shell to just continue pouring money into the endless pit to anyone who asks for it
