DESCRIPTION:Sweet Crude is about Nigeria’s Niger Delta - the human and environmental 
 consequences of 50 years of oil extraction, the history of non-violent 
 protest, and the members of a new insurgency who became the young men of 
 the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND). The film 
 confronts issues of human rights, resource control, environmental justice 
 and mainstream media agendas. The film crew was imprisoned by the Nigerian 
 military in an effort to suppress the film. It didn’t work. This film 
 should be seen by as many people as possible. For more about the film, 
 watch the trailer (sweetcrudemovie.com/videoGallery) and visit the website 
 (sweetcrudemovie.com)\n\nWith Special Guest Emem Okon: Emem Okon is a 
 women’s rights activist and advocate from the Niger Delta’s oil 
 impacted region of Nigeria. Ms. Okon is the founder and the Executive 
 Director of Kebetkache Women Development & Resource Centre. Ms. Okon was a 
 leader of the powerful women’s protests of Chevron Corporation for its 
 environmental and human rights abuses in Nigeria which garnered 
 international media attention when a group of women took over an oil 
 installation and threatened to take off their clothes if the company did 
 not negotiate with them.\n\nJINN website: www.justiceinnigerianow.org\nJINN
