DESCRIPTION:What could be more timely than a film that examines the environmental and 
 human cost of oil extraction?  Or, even more so, the very film whose 
 outtakes Chevron's lawyers are trying to commandeer so they can fight suits 
 by native peoples living in the rainforest? \n\nOver three years ago this 
 feature from acclaimed filmmaker Joe Berlinger began telling one of the 
 most extraordinary environmental disasters of our time, described as “the 
 Amazon Chernobyl.” Over the course of three decades of drilling in the 
 Ecuadorian Amazon, US oil giant Chevron deliberately dumped more than 18 
 billion gallons of toxic wastewater in the rain forest, leaving local 
 native peoples suffering from an epidemic of cancers, miscarriages, and 
 birth defects. \n\nRecently re-edited to keep the film current, Crude is a 
 real-life, high-stakes legal drama that offers a ground level view into the 
 lives of those directly impacted by this tragedy while revealing a 
 behind-the-scenes look at one of the most extraordinary legal dramas of our 
 time, one that has the potential of forever changing the way international 
 business is conducted.  \n\nGo to the website to read reviews and see a 
 list of the awards this film has won:

 of Amazon Watch and Rainforest Action Network.\nAdmission free\n
