Crude: The Documentary - What You Can Do To Help
Tuesday, 02 February 2010 18:08
Crude tells the story of the largest environmental lawsuit on the
planet, pitting 30,000 Ecuadorean rainforest residents against Chevron,
the world’s fifth-largest company. Making the film was a three-year
labor of love — a grueling process that was both physically and
emotionally draining. Now that the film is finished and has taken on
its own life, bringing it to theatres across the country has been a
tremendously rewarding experience, mostly because of the way in which
it has changed my view of my fellow citizens. The theatrical release of
the film has reminded me of the power of cinema to unite and inspire
people, and confirmed my belief that cinema can and should be a
communal experience.
