Trailer

Canada's tar sands are an oil reserve the size of England. Extracting the crude oil called bitumen from underneath unspoiled wilderness requires a massive industrialized effort with far-reaching impacts on the land, air, water, and climate.

It's an extraordinary spectacle, whose scope can only be understood from far above. In a hypnotic flight of image and sound, one machine's perspective upon the choreography of others, suggests a dehumanized world where petroleum's power is supreme.

1. Too bad Reagan committed treason to beat Carter out of a 2nd term, who knows

what he could have started back then which might have us today on a greener path.

2. yes and then there is that GW Bush vs Gore theft..

..Gore, like Carter would have also turned the environment in a far better direction.
GOP have been scheming & plotting for a way to keep the poison-for-profit flowing, for a very long time now.
