Plot synopsis for the documentary "CRUDE" (out now in limited
release):
One of the largest and most controversial legal cases on the planet.
An inside look at the infamous $27 billion "Amazon Chernobyl" case,
CRUDE is a real-life high stakes legal drama set against a backdrop of
the environmental movement, global politics, celebrity activism, human
rights advocacy, the media, multinational corporate power, and rapidly-
disappearing indigenous cultures. Presenting a complex situation from
multiple viewpoints, the film subverts the conventions of advocacy
filmmaking as it examines a complicated situation from all angles
while bringing an important story of environmental peril and human
suffering into focus.
CRUDE opens in Boston at the Museum of Fine Art on November 5.
Currently, the film is set to play there at the following times: Nov 5
@4:30pm, Nov. 6 @ 8pm, Nov 7 @ 3:10 pm, Nov. 12 @ 3:30 pm and Nov 13@
6pm.
The theater offers group discounts for groups of 15 or more. The
groups discount is %25 off the member price. Member price is $8/
ticket... so if we can get a group of 15 or more together, we can see
CRUDE for $6 per person.
I'm going to see it for sure. Anybody interested? Suggestions for
which screening we should see?
