Crude is an artful documentary from Joe Berlinger about the 16-year legal battle between 30,000 Ecuadorian citizens and the oil giant Chevron over the extensive damage done by the company to local rainforests and their indigenous peoples. Heartbreaking stories of cancer-afflicted children are balanced with fiery face-offs between Chevron bully boys and the self-taught Ecuadorian lawyer Pablo Fajardo. Although the real-life outcome may be known to some, Crude still, at its best, unfolds like a courtroom thriller.
