synopsis
From filmmaker Joe Berlinger (BROTHER'S KEEPER, PARADISE LOST) comes CRUDE, the epic story of one of the largest legal cases on the planet: the infamous $27 billion “Amazon Chernobyl” lawsuit pitting 30,000 rainforest dwellers in Ecuador against the U.S. oil giant Chevron. Winner of 19 international awards, CRUDE takes you inside a riveting, high stakes drama steeped in global politics, the environmental movement and rapidly-disappearing indigenous cultures.
