Moreau, Laetitia. A Future Without Oil. France: What’s Up Films, 2010. HD, 52 min. https://vimeo.com/74948767.
From the rostrum of the UN to Quito, Berlin, Madrid, Brussels, Copenhagen and beyond, this film retraces the desperate plight of the emissaries of Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa. They are seeking to convince the world, as well as their own government, to stop drilling for oil in the rich earth of the Yasuni region, in a park that is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
