(2009). Three years in the making, this听肠颈苍茅尘补-惫茅谤颈迟茅听feature from acclaimed filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Brother鈥檚 Keeper,听Paradise Lost,听Metallica: Some Kind of Monster) is the epic story of one of the largest and most controversial environmental lawsuits on the planet. The inside story of the infamous 鈥淎mazon Chernobyl鈥 case,听Crude听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. The case takes place not just in a courtroom, but in a series of field inspections at the alleged contamination sites, with the judge and attorneys for both sides trudging through the jungle to litigate.听 Some of the film鈥檚 subjects sparked further controversy as they won a CNN 鈥淗ero鈥 award and the Goldman Award, the environmental equivalent of the Nobel Prize.
