Documentary: Dirty Oil plus Satellite Q&A, Part of the York Festival of Science and Technology

15/03/2010 18:30 - 20:30

Venue : Venue: City Screen Picturehouse, York

Building on the current appetite for environmental films examining issues around natural resources and pollution, Dirty Oil takes us deep behind the scenes into the strip-mined world of Alberta, Canada.  Here the vast and toxic Tar Sands deposit supplies the US with the majority of its oil.  Through the eyes of scientists, 'big oil' officials, politicians, doctors, environmentalists and aboriginal citizens directly affected by 'the largest industrial project on the planet today', the filmmakers journey to both sides of the border to see the irreversible toll this 'black gold rush', fuelled by America's addiction to oil, is taking on our planet.
