[ottawa-activist-events] Mayworks screening of "Between Midnight and the Rooster's Crow"
Jamie Kneen
a film directed by Ottawa's Nadja Drost
screens at the Mayworks Festival, Thursday May 4th
Follow the story of big oil from the toxic rivers
of the Amazon to company headquarters in Alberta.
Canadian oil giant EnCana is under fire for the
construction of an oil pipeline that is
generating controversy and conflict in the
Amazon. Faced with the contamination of their
lands and coercion by military forces, Ecuadorian
peasants tap into reserves of remarkable strength
and courage as they resist. Between Midnight and
the Rooster's Crow explores the experiences of
the people whose lives are being drastically
altered by the race for black gold -- a race
fuelled by oil companies, a government desperate
for foreign investment, and a rapidly-globalizing
world.
