An excellent film about the gathering of
evidence and legal fight against one of the most powerful energy corporation on
earth. The actual film showing both horrors of environmental industrial ACTIONS
causing direct (visible, no need for a chemical kit- and invisible of course)
environmental degradation, and the parody of justice, in fact even the travesty
of the existence of a simple legal system going on and on.

The story of lawsuit by tens of thousands of
Ecuadorans against Chevron over contamination of the Ecuadorean Amazon.
One of the largest and most

This person (THIS HERO) just won a terrible case, (just watch the film, it is
telling,) and the corporations are suing him for basically bringing the burden
of proof to the for years reluctant authorities that I guessed bent because,
thanks to the awareness campaign generated.
How
utterly disgusting.

Chevron has obtained an injunction from U.S. District Court against enforcement of the Ecuadorian verdict.[18]
Despite these many setbacks, the Ecuadorian victims of Chevron's pollution that Donziger helps to represent continue to attempt to enforce the judgment in Ontario, Canada.[19] Actions are also being pursued in Colombia and Argentina where, unlike in Ecuador, Chevron still has major assets.[20] Pursuant to these efforts, Chevron has already had assets frozen in Argentina, including bank deposits and its stake in a pipeline company.[21] These developments followed Donziger's successful appeal before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals of Judge Kaplan's worldwide injunction against the enforcement of the Ecuadorian judgment on the basis of Chevron's allegations of judicial malfeasance in Ecuador.[
An excellent lecture on global warming, the abomination of industrialisation and our takings cabs less
often than plane.
