Director Joe Berlinger
Documentary
Crude is the epic story of one of the largest and most controversial environmental lawsuits on the planet - the infamous “Amazon Chernobyl” case. The landmark case takes place in the Amazon jungle of Ecuador, pitting 30,000 indigenous and colonial rainforest dwellers against the U.S. oil giant Chevron. The plaintiffs claim that Chevron spent three decades systematically contaminating one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth, poisoning the water, air and land. The plaintiffs allege that the pollution has created a “death zone” in an area the size of the Rhode Island. Berlinger and his crew captures the drama as it unfolded while the case grew from a little-known legal story to an international cause célèbre. While the environmental impact of the consumption of fossil fuels has been increasingly documented in recent years, Crude focuses on the human cost of our addiction to oil and the increasingly difficult task of holding a major corporation accountable for its past deeds.
