"Sweet Crude"


The documentary "Sweet Crude" by Sandy Cioffi informs the viewer about the issues of oil in the Niger Delta. For those who are a more of a visual learner, this might be much more fun for you to watch instead of reading my boring writings. Well, maybe not, but you should check it out nonetheless! Here is a description of it from the website.

In a small corner of the most populous country in Africa, billions of dollars of crude oil flow under the feet of a desperate people. Immense wealth and abject poverty stand in stark contrast. The environment is decimated. The issues are complex, the answers elusive.

The documentary film Sweet Crude tells the story of Nigeria’s Niger Delta. The region is seething and the global stakes are high. But in this moment, there’s an opportunity to find solutions. What if the world paid attention before it was too late?
