Sunday 10 October. Dirty Oil (2010) cert U, 73 mins, 7.30pm, Memorial Hall, Charlbury
A terrifying exposé of the largest industrial project on the planet today. It takes us into the strip-mined world of Alberta, Canada, where the vast and toxic tar sands deposit supplies the U.S. with the majority of its oil. The filmmakers journey to both sides of the border to see the irreversible human and environmental toll that this black gold rush, fuelled by America's addiction to oil, is taking on our planet. We are taken to the formerly beautiful Athabasca River which has been turned into a toxic sewer by companies digging out oil from tar sands. We find out the story from scientists, oil industry officials, politicians, doctors, environmentalists, and the aboriginal citizens who are directly impacted by the catastrophe.
