"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter."

About The Film

View the Trailer


Brief Synopsis: CRUDE is an award-winning documentary film that chronicles the epic battle to hold oil giant Chevron (formerly Texaco) accountable for its systematic contamination of the Ecuadorian Amazon - an environmental tragedy experts call "the Rainforest Chernobyl.

Reviews:

"A forceful, often infuriating story about Big Oil and little people." The New York Times

"A remarkable documentary...Gripping...Intrinsically cinematic...The most urgent film I've seen at Sundance this year." - Scott Foundas, LA Weekly


"Crude is both a tribute to human-rights tenacity and a sobering account of the multinational-Moloch greed that can keep justice in limbo." - by Fernando F. Croce, Slant Magazine
