Crude

"Crude is both a tribute to human-rights tenacity and a sobering account of the multinational-Moloch greed that can keep justice in limbo." - Fernando F. Croce

When well-meaning Trudie Styler, founder of Rainforest Foundation (and Sting's wife), comes on, even Farjardo's convictions and Berlinger's early scenes about native culture and ancestry get swept up amidst hubristic hubbub.

WAY to SOFT. This story needs a much more biting, much harsher, much more against the grain approach than this soft American style docu.

Does a good job of showing why/how a multi-billion lawsuit can get dragged out over decades. I wonder if it's the messiness of the case or the filmmakers that it's never all laid out clearly; it just accrues details as it rolls along.
