Documentary Description
After assessing today’s dwindling oil reserves and skyrocketing use of oil for fuels, plastics and chemicals, documentary The Oil Factor
questions the motives for the U.S. wars in the Middle-East and Central
Asia where 3/4 of the world’s oil and natural gas is located.
With exclusive footage shot on location in Iraq,
Pakistan and Afghanistan, the film documents the spiraling violence now
engulfing both Iraq and Afghanistan, a country conspicuously absent
from the commercial media’s news segments. Interviews gathered
throughout the Middle-East, Europe and the United States, including a
Bechtel executive in Baghdad, also expose who is cashing in on the tens
of billions of dollars requested from congress by the current
administration of G. W. Bush.
With detailed maps and graphics, The Oil Factor
features many experts and personalities such as former Defense Advisor
Zbigniew Brzezinski, M.I.T. professor Noam Chomsky, the Project for the
New American Century Executive Director Gary Schmitt, Coalition
Provisional Authority Chairman Paul Bremer, former Pentagon analyst Lt.
Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, current Iraqi government official Abdel Aziz
Al-Hakim and authors Ahmed Rashid and Michael C. Ruppert. What we’ve
seen is a very quiet plan to privatize Iraq’s oil. This is not really
surprising from an administration that is run by former oil executives.
