Over a Barrel (2019)

Over a Barrel is a short political documentary about the work of Vivian Krause, and the questions she raises regarding U.S foundations funding activism against the Canadian oil and gas industry.

The supposed goal of this "Tar Sands Campaign", funded by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and other U.S. charitable foundations, is to fight pipeline approvals in Canada and stop Canadian oil from reaching overseas markets.

We focus on the negative consequences this has had on the Alberta economy, First Nations communities and the rising threat of western separatism.
