For nearly 30 years, the U.S. oil giant Texaco, which merged with Chevron in 2001, contaminated Indigenous lands in Ecuador's Amazon jungle, one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth, poisoning the water, air, and land; heightening rates of cancer, leukemia, birth defects, and other health problems; and irrevocably destroying the traditional way of life of the Indigenous Peoples living there. As litigation wends its way through Ecuador's courts, a new movie, CRUDE, by filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Brother’'s Keeper, Paradise Lost, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster) tells the David and Goliath story of the Indigenous People's efforts to obtain justice and repair their environment. New Yorkers can view the film this weekend! There will be dozens of other screenings around the country this fall. For those of you in the Boston and Boulder areas, please look for more information about screenings in your communities in November.
Three years in the making, this new documentary from filmmaker Joe Berlinger 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 David vs. Goliath 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, CRUDE explores a complex situation from all angles, bringing an important story of environmental peril and human suffering into focus.
