Chevron rep: 'everything they say is absolutely tru-... uh, untrue'


My theater broke out laughing when that guy Veiga misspoke and said that the Ecuadorians were correct in their accusations. Freudian slip perhaps?

I also loved the part where Berlinger cuts from the interview of that Chevron woman who claims that the health problems of the Ecuadorians is due to bad sanitation and not river pollution to a shot of a splotch of oil floating down the river past a few bathing natives.

This was just an amazingly well-put together doc. It doesn't explicitly make any statements either way and gives both parties equal speaking time, but it makes you detest those Chevron ****stains with every passing moment you hear them talk.

Just a tremendous film. One of my favorites of 2009.

The thing's hollow-it goes on forever-and-oh my God-it's full of stars!

You're a brain washed fool.

That's an insinuated statement, not an explicit one.

You're just a, like, normal fool I guess.

Take a look at the amount of pollution caused by the Ecuadorean national oil company. The film shoes footage of sites polluted by their own government run oil company, and talks about Chevron while showing them.

You can't fight for truth by telling lies....

So can you prove your lies... upppps I meant your claims? guess not, just talkin' cra*
