The movie that bothers to Chevron

Now I just finished reading the 'article on the site giornalettismo.com you want to reproduce in its entirety as very well written and tells us of a reality to me, until now, unknown. Good reading;

It is a difficult time for the Chevron Corporation , one of the largest oil companies in the world, the fifth - to be exact - tells us the 'Huffington Post. Perhaps its a losing battle, that of wanting to undermine (or even prevent) the theatrical release of New York and Los Angeles, 9 and 18 September next, a documentary film that tells the truth about his responsibilities one of the worst environmental tragedies in the history of the planet. What, in short, the world denounce the heinous and foolish snub by the oil company the green lung of the earth, the Amazon.

Will probably not anything the team of bloggers and social PR mercenaries, paid to speak ill of "Crude" (or "raw") "the real price of oil" . It took three years to realize the director Joe Berlinguer docufilm this tells the "Chernobyl of the Amazons," as this disaster has been defined by experts. In fact, a wave of cancers, miscarriages, birth defects, reduced to the extreme local campesinos and Indians for years. They obviously did not think Chevron between 1964 and 1990, when water poured in gallons of toxic waste and crude oil discharge. The numbers are hallucinating about, incomprehensible. We speak of 17, 18 billion of "toxic wastewater, toxic waste, dumped in the Amazon. Did not care about the health of the population of rainforests oil company, when, to increase their profit on barrels strove with obsolete instruments, environmentally devastating. Very. A giant, Goliath of a shameless race for money and power challenged, among others, by a young David called Pablo Fajardo, who is already or a hero to many. In 2008 he withdrew an award from CNN for his personal battle against Chevron. He worked the oil and took a law degree by correspondence in order to defend its people, to denounce what really costs and what those costs really raw. There is also talk of him in that film in Los Angeles has received a nomination for best documentary.

Will represent the docufilm same Pablo, who is not the only human protagonist. Crude is in the nature and the local people who live there and lived this drama never bend at all. Resisting. Now denouncing. 'S Amazon Watch's Clean Up Ecuador Campaign , non-profit association in defense of human rights established in 1966, which sponsored all, and that has long been engaged in a battle to reveal the responsibility of the oil company in the environmental disaster Ecuador, is not alone . In efforts to allow the theatrical release of the film and its promotion, there are other environmental organizations. And then there's the network, which is called - writes the Huffington Post - to sponsor the event, talking about blogs, to follow the fan page of Crude on Facebook , posting the trailer. And so do we. Good vision.
