The Power of Big Oil

About This Movie

So, 'The Power of Big Oil' is this deep dive into the tangled web of climate change and the fossil fuel industry. It’s broken up into three parts, which gives it this epic feel, almost like a mini-series. The pacing is methodical, and it really allows you to absorb the weight of the subject matter. The documentary does this interesting thing where it uncovers early industry research on climate change, almost like peeling back layers of a very thick onion. There’s this raw, almost unsettling atmosphere throughout that makes you think about the implications of it all. It doesn’t shy away from the uncomfortable truths, which is kind of refreshing in a landscape where so many docs gloss over the hard stuff. Definitely a heavy watch, but worth the time if you're into the politics of energy and the environment.

Part One focuses on early research of climate change by the fossil fuel industry. · The series takes a critical look at historical industry actions. · Atmosphere is heavy but engaging; not your typical feel-good doc.
