Plot Summary:Three years in the making, this cinema-verite feature from acclaimed filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Brothers Keeper, Paradise Lost, Metallica Some Kind of Monster) 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.
