| playbill of the movie |
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, exploring a complicated situation from all angles while bringing an important story of environmental peril and human suffering into focus.
The meaning of the title Crude, that comes from the latin crudus, refers to the quality of crude oil, but also to bloody, broad, rough, exactly as the bloody fight to gain oil.
