*"H2Oil" PREMIERE AT HOT DOCS FILM FESTIVAL IN TORONTO & ACTION EVENT, MAY
8-10th, 2009*

"Thanks to Alberta's Athabasca oil sands, Canada is now the biggest oil
supplier to the United States. A controversial billion-dollar industry is
heavily invested in extracting crude from the tarry sands through a process
so toxic it has become an international cause for concern. Four barrels of
glacier-fed spring water are used to process each barrel of oil, then are
dumped, laden with carcinogens, into leaky tailings ponds so huge they can
be seen from space. Downstream, the people of Fort Chipewyan are already
paying the price for what will be one of the largest industrial projects in
history. When a local doctor raises the alarm about clusters of rare
cancers, evidence mounts for industry and government cover-ups. In a time
when wars are fought over oil and a crisis looms over access to clean fresh
water, which resource is more precious? And what price are we willing to
pay?" -Gisèle Gordon.
