CinemaPolitica presents "Between Midnight and the Rooster's Crow" and "Oil on Ice"
Two excellent films that interrogate the problem of oil, the environment, and those who wish to profit from it. This special event is co-sponsored by the CKUT News Collective.
Between Midnight and the Rooster's Crow investigates the operations of the EnCana Corporation, a firm that, despite proud public declarations of its social responsibility, is shown to be answerable for widespread environmental contamination and human rights violations. The film focuses on EnCana's development of a heavy crude oil pipeline from the Amazon across the earthquake-prone Andes to the Pacific coast for export.
Oil on Ice is a one-hour documentary that examines the the battle over oil development within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This is a classic struggle in a stunning place, featuring the dramatic wildlife that adapted to this environment and the cultures of the Gwich’in Athabascan Indians and Inupiat Eskimos that rely on this wildlife for their subsistence.
