Movie: Crude–The Real Price of Oil

November 6-13 at the Angelika Theater in Houston. You may already be familiar with the film’s subject matter, the largest environmental lawsuit in global history–what’s been dubbed the “Amazon Chernobyl” case, a class action lawsuit filed 16 years ago by 30,000 Ecuadoreans against Chevron.  The impending $27 billion judgement will no doubt set a precedent for how transnational corporations will be held accountable in the future. Three years in the making, this cinéma-vérité feature from acclaimed filmmaker Joe Berlinger is the epic story of one of the largest and most controversial environmental lawsuits on the planet.  http://angelikafilmcenter.com/ANGELIKA_COMINGSOON.ASP?hID=3854&page=COMING%20SOON
