Oil on Ice
Oil on Ice, an award-winning one-hour documentary about the Refuge and
the controversy over drilling for oil there, unveils a very different
picture than the image of a snow-covered and lifeless wasteland portrayed
by Senator Murkowski. The film is a visually stunning journey through a
pristine land that is teeming with wildlife, enriched by centuries of
Native American culture, and at risk of being destroyed by the invasive
trucks, bulldozers and pipelines of the oil industry.
Oil on Ice shows how the fate of the Refuge, one of America’s last wild
places, is inextricably linked to decisions our nation makes about energy
policy, transportation choices, and other seemingly unrelated matters,
while the culture and livelihood of the native Gwich’in Indians and the
survival of migratory wildlife are caught in the balance. Because the
film examines both the consequences of oil drilling and alternative
solutions to our energy needs, it tells the viewer, "Don’t be
misinformed."
The Oil on Ice educational WebDVD includes not only the one-hour
documentary, but also exclusive interviews with environmentalists Carl
Pope and Amory Lovins, a grassroots action toolkit and a number of other
bonus features. The Oil on Ice WebDVD engages audiences with interactive
content as well as tools to empower any concerned citizen to easily take
action and make a difference.
