METAL AT THE MOVIES PART: 13 : CRUDE THE MOVIE (THE PRICE OF OIL)


Joe Berlinger, directer of the METALLICA documentary "Some Kind Of Monster" and the critically acclaimed HBO documentaries "Paradise Lost: The Robin Hood Hills Murders" and "Paradise Lost 2: Revelations" has filmed another intense documentary about the global politics and enviormental hazards of the AMAZON rainforests.
FROM CRUDE THE MOVIE YOU TUBE: 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 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 as it examines a complicated situation from all angles while bringing an important story of environmental peril and human suffering into focus.
Thanks-Stay metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
