QFT Presents: Crude
Queen's Film Theatre is screening the environmental film Crude from 29 January until 4 Feb 2010.
The film tells the incredible inside story of the world's largest oil-related environmental lawsuit, centering on the "Amazon Chernobyl" in the Ecuadorian rainforest.
With extraordinary access to the key players involved, filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Brother's Keeper, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster) and his crew captured all sides of a controversial, epic drama as it unfolded inside and outside the courtroom.
Alternately inspiring, funny, disturbing and infuriating, Crudeoffers a thoughtful and complex look at the issues surrounding human rights and corporate behaviour in Latin America.
