Crude


Movie: Crude
I saw it on: September 27, 2009
Genre: Documentary
MPAA Rating: NR
Synopsis: For decades, Texaco (now part of Chevron) wrecked havoc on the environment in Ecuador.  They left behind a horror or polluted water and land.  Ecuador natives filed a law suit in 1993 which is still being fought by the oil company.  This movie chronicles the struggle to hold the oil company accountable.

My two cents: What Texaco – and now Equador’s oil company – has done to the environment is unbelievable.  Almost as unbelievable is how the oil company executives and attorneys continue to deny their culpability.
