Catalog Information

This is 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 high stakes legal drama set against a backdrop of the environmental movement, global politics, celebrity activism, human rights advocacy, the media, multinational corporate power, and rapidly-disappearing indigenous cultures. Presenting a complex situation from multiple viewpoints, the film subverts the conventions of advocacy filmmaking and attempts to portray a holistic picture of the eco-political situation in Ecuador.
