Sweet Crude
From Menno Van Wyk I have been involved in a new documentary called Sweet Crude (www.sweetcrudemovie.com) which spotlights how fifty years of oil drilling and exploration managed to impoverish the people and destroy the ecology of the Niger Delta, while much of the world turned a blind eye. It is an incredibly moving story, and obviously a parable of our times. Since we premiered at the Full Frame film festival in Durham, NC last spring, we have shown at half a dozen film festivals, including the Docuweeks film fest currently playing in NYC at 323 Sixth Ave. at W. 3rd St., New York, New York 10014. It closes on Thursday, August 20. Sandy Cioffi, the filmmaker, will be attending all showings and be available for Q & A sessions afterwards. |
