Petropolis, Film Being Shown At Honour The Treaties Tour, Posted Online (VIDEO)
The Huffington Post Alberta | Posted: 01/15/2014 5:33 pm EST | Updated: 01/17/2014 1:25 pm EST
Neil Young has made ample reference to the ugliness and the Hiroshima-like destruction he says permeates the landscape in the oilsands region of northern Alberta.
Now, a condensed version of a film, which helped spark Young's fight against the Alberta oilsands – and that is being shown to audiences at his current concerts – is online.
A 15-minute version of Petropolis: Aerial Perspectives on the Alberta Tar Sands, originally a 43-minute, 2009 documentary shot for Greenpeace Canada, has been posted to Vimeo.
Although the video's producers have been accused of being selective in the footage chosen, the film showcases well the seedier underbelly of the industry in the Athabasca region.
