February 16, 2011: Dirty Oil, w.Fox Farm and an all-party political panel
Narrated by Canadian actress and environmentalist Neve Campbell, this feature documentary from Academy Award nominated director Leslie Iwerks goes deep behind-the-scenes into the strip-mined world of Northern Alberta. Here, vast and toxic oil sands supply the US with the majority of it’s oil. Told through the eyes of scientists, “big oil” officials, politicians, doctors, environmentalists, and aboriginal citizens directly affected by “the largest industrial project on the planet today”, the filmmakers journey to both sides of the border to uncover the emotional and irreversible toll this “black gold” is taking on our planet.
