I hope you get this out to as many people as possible including the U.S. President. The same thing happened in Africa with Shell.

I cut up my Chevron card and sent a letter demanding that Chevron:
Comment by Dennis Patrick1. Publicly renounce their OBVIOUSLY fake PR campaign
2. Invest heavily in environmental clean up
3. Publicly apologize to the brave people that dared to stand up to you.

If investors can change Chevron, then why haven’t they? This is nothing new.Who has the right to decide, who lives and who dies? This is the real question! Instant gratification, rules so many lives. Anyone can fall victim to it . With this in mind, we can make a consorted effort to not victimize the week.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING…!!!
Comment by Elaine Cortese02/11/10 at 11:53 am
Chevron should be held liable for clean up, they have the money and manpower. This is disgusting. Do we, as a nation, think that gasoline is more important than these people, animals, or environment? I think not, so I will boycott this company. I hope that more people join me and stand up for the rights of these people.

Anxious to host a house party…bit o’ beta for those of us who had no idea this was happening. Cheers and good on ya!

I’m going to order the film – thank you so much for investigating this issue and helping these people. When are these companies going to stop?
Comment by susan zeiger02/11/10 at 12:19 pm
Things like this STILL HAPPEN. We should all do something about this !
Comment by Cristina02/11/10 at 12:27 pm
I would like to see the trailer. I see no place to click on seeing it. That is frustrating. I do not have my own computer and am at the library using one of theirs (for an hour a day, 4 days a week). Maybe the library is blocking it, I don’t know. I just didn’t see any button to press to have it come up or play it.
Comment by Noyita Saravia02/11/10 at 12:28 pm
WOW- great trailer and I believe every word of it. We must wake up to what we are doing to our brothers and sisters for energy. Shame on Chevron. America is also allowing coal companies to poison and pollute in Appalachia.
It is time for renewable energy now! My god -look at the mess we are leaving our children. If we keep poisoning their water, they won;t have a livable earth. We parent and grand parents have got to stop poisoning our children. Shame on us!
Comment by Judy Bonds02/11/10 at 12:45 pm
I shouldn’t think that anyone should be surprised by the actions of these corporations. For hundreds of thousands of years, this sort of thing has been happening. When will man realize the folly of his actions? Too late I’m afraid…
Comment by Diana Green02/11/10 at 12:49 pm
Chevron made the mess they have to clean it up……they have the money
Comment by Christine02/11/10 at 1:56 pm
This is so sad. All the more reason to shift over to a solar energy based economy.
Comment by A. Evans02/11/10 at 4:20 pm
My utmost praise & gratitude to those who are brave enough, & have the resource to fight these kind of (unbelieveable & shocking) battles. Without them this would of continued as another indicriminate & inhumane corporate exploitation.
Comment by Patti Devine02/11/10 at 4:31 pm
“Disgusting!” “Horrendous” “Immoral” “Business as Usual” all of those words don’t have enough power to express how incredible it is that corporations continue to get away with murder in this day and age of instantaneous world-wide communication!
Comment by Gisele HetuI hope that Chevron PAYS BIG TIME for this one!
02/11/10 at 5:36 pm
Every one should see this film so the truth can be known. These mega corporate powers that do nothing but rape the land and kill the people they impact must be stopped at all cost if we are to survive as a family.
Comment by Philip Dancing WolfPOWER TO THE PEOPLE ONCE AND FOR ALL !!!!!

Can I buy this movie or is it rent-able? Also, Chevron is not different than any other gas/oil company. They all do this.
Comment by Elizabeth Barris02/11/10 at 7:04 pm
The most effective way, and probably the only way, to stop Texaco and all Oil companies from polluting our Beautiful Planet, is to STOP using all fossil fuel consuming engines. We have to stop supporting the Oil companies. If we do not use their cars/buses/trucks/etc, there won’t be any demand for oil. When no demand, supply goes away. Simple economics. NOBODY SAID DOING THE RIGHT THING IS GOING TO BE EASY.
Comment by I live to love02/11/10 at 10:21 pm
Disgusting, repulsive situation. Human beings are some of the most evil perpetrators on other human beings, animals, plants, the environment. Chevron’s GREED is appalling.
Comment by Kay Campbell02/12/10 at 4:53 am
This is brutal and sad it shouldn’t be like that.
Comment by john miller02/12/10 at 9:33 am
chevron need to be punished for there crimes, we have had enough of big oil campanies doing what theylike, were they like, time for change
Comment by carl holmes02/12/10 at 9:41 am
Why is that not more public????
Comment by Nancy Adkins02/12/10 at 10:14 am
All oil companies need to be respectful of the people, wildlife and the environments safety, health and future. What has happened in the Amazon is horrific.
The impact of today’s greed and profit are killing people all over the world.
Another example is what happened to Louisiana with Katrina because the oil companies made patchwork out of the protecting wetlands and are causing huge coastal errosion.
Comment by Mary Dorsey02/12/10 at 10:51 am
I believe in trying to get the facts. I was outraged by this trailer until I thoroughly read Chevron’s side of the story: http://theamazonpost.com/category/ecuador-lawsuit-myths
Comment by Carolyn SlarveNow I’m disgusted by Petroecuador, the government of Ecuador, and whomever is profiting from this lawsuit other than the common people of Ecuador. I am still against all oil companies and believe solar on every rooftop is our best alternative (if only we could figure out how to power our cars this way!) along with driving less, flying less, supporting companies who are truly as green as possible, and voluntary population control. I fear greed will eventually be the downfall of humankind unless we stop supporting it.

I can’t wait to see this movie. It’s just too bad that movies like CRUDE have to be made in the first place. To see innocent animals and people harmed by such insolence is absolutely disgusting, and the corporate heads of Chevron ought to step up to the plate and take responsibility for their actions. I truly hope Chevron pays for the destruction they’ve done to the environment and the people of Ecuador. I’m telling everyone I know to boycott Chevron.
Comment by Harmony Conger02/12/10 at 1:48 pm
I am so sick of the greed of huge corporations and the people that run them. How horrifying that they have polluted the earth with their oil and gas. Look what they have done to the people and animals, to our planet. Amazing how billions of dollars can help you sleep so well at night, isn’t it? We have to get the word out, make Chevron pay dearly for what they have done!
Comment by Catherine Tayler-Houle02/12/10 at 3:15 pm
This is so inhumane, and something that we wouldn’t do in the U.S as he said.
Comment by john miller02/13/10 at 10:18 am
Chevron must not get away with this. These people must be helped by a thorough cleanup by Chevron.
Comment by Jeanette L02/15/10 at 6:12 am
Just another example of what the smell or is that the stench of money does. These kind of “people” are sick parasites.
Comment by Richard Oziewicz02/15/10 at 6:22 pm
All these companies are the same, blind buy greed. They have to be held acountable.
Comment by Richard Oziewicz02/15/10 at 6:29 pm
Hundreds of people, including children get sick or die due to the pollution of crude oil.
Comment by SusieOur rain forests are being destroyed.
Our air is polluted.
Our waters are poisoned.
let’s unit clean up our planet
In love and light

What you do to these people will affect you adversely, make no mistake. Be fair, do the right thing or pay.
Comment by Lynette dumont02/15/10 at 8:56 pm
Maybe the best trailer ever seen…The real pictures are the best way to get us think about the problems and after that start to think the solutions for the problems in our everyday life. Thank you for posting this. I try to do my own part…with ny heart…
Comment by Taina Maria Tikkamäki02/18/10 at 7:39 am
I am horrified to find out about this tragedy and can’t believe I didn’t know about it. I hope Chevron has to pay to clean the mess. How could it have been allowed to happen?
Comment by Heidi02/19/10 at 9:13 am
Chevron must go down their and clean up their crap that they left. If many people are dying and Chevron saying that it’s not true, let’s take ‘em down there and show ‘em what they’ve done to the ecuadorian enviorment.
Comment by John Miller02/19/10 at 6:45 pm
Incredible! I will never be a customer of Chevron or any other company that so disregards the environment and the people who live in it. Chevron has the nerve to advertise that they give oil to Americans who can’t afford to heat their homes. I’d freeze to death before I’d accept anything from Chevron. The Company should be held accountable for cleaning up their mess!
Comment by Outraged, Ellen02/23/10 at 12:06 pm
