Oil: The Race for the Last Reserves | The Struggle for Oil - Geological Deceptions (Full Film)

How much oil is left - and what happens when the world’s most important energy source becomes harder, riskier and more expensive to extract? This compelling energy documentary investigates the global dependence on crude oil, the theory of peak oil and the environmental dangers of deep-sea drilling. Beginning with the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, it examines how technological failures, financial pressure and difficult drilling conditions contributed to one of the worst oil spills in history. Travel from oil fields in Austria and Saudi Arabia to research centres in Europe, Canadian oil sands and offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Scientists, geologists, engineers and industry experts reveal how oil is formed, how new reserves are discovered and why many of the world’s largest oil fields may be declining. The documentary also explores enhanced oil recovery, horizontal drilling, water injection, polymer technology, Arctic exploration and the enormous financial and environmental costs of extracting unconventional oil. It investigates the use of chemical dispersants during the Deepwater Horizon cleanup and questions their impact on marine ecosystems and human

The Pension Gamble (full documentary) | FRONTLINE

This 2018 documentary investigates the role of state governments and Wall Street in driving America’s public pensions into a multi-trillion-dollar hole. Producers Marcela Gaviria and Nick Verbitsky and correspondent Martin Smith trace how state governments have withheld pension contributions to cover shortfalls and waged risky bets on Wall Street. Smith goes inside the volatile fight over pensions in Kentucky, a state whose once-flush pension system for its police, firefighters, teachers and other public workers became one of the worst-funded in the nation. Major funding for FRONTLINE is provided by the Ford Foundation. Additional funding is provided by the Abrams Foundation; the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation; Park Foundation; and the FRONTLINE Journalism Fund with major support from Jon and Jo Ann Hagler on behalf of the Jon L.

PTSD: The American Soldiers Traumatized After WW2 | Battlezone

From the Director of The Maltese Falcon, and Editor of The Godfather, 'Let There Be Light' takes an intimate look at the life of American WWII soldiers dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and their road to recovery. Revolutionary for its time, the use of hidden cameras captured intimate moments of these soldiers at their most emotionally vulnerable moments, with the resulting film being intended to educate the public about how difficult this reintroduction to society was for these men. However the footage proved to be so shocking that the US Government banned it being shown until the 1980s. In this film we see one-on-one counselling sessions with veterans and the variety of test that were carried out on soldiers after the war had ended.

Escaping Eritrea (full documentary) | FRONTLINE

With exclusive secret footage and testimony, an undercover five-year investigation documents shocking allegations of torture, arbitrary detention and indefinite forced conscription into military service in Eritrea. “Escaping Eritrea” is a years-in-the-making investigation from FRONTLINE and Channel 4, offering a rare glimpse inside a country that has been under authoritarian rule for three decades. Over the past two decades, more than a half a million Eritreans have fled their home country in eastern Africa, escaping what many have said is one of the most repressive dictatorships in the world. Filming and reporting in Eritrea is almost impossible. But for more than five years, producer and director Evan Williams has been gathering secretly shot footage from inside the country and interviewing people who’ve escaped. Collected in the documentary, their stories depict a litany of horrors: brutal, extended interrogations and torture. People detained in overcrowded rooms for years without trial for attempting to avoid forced conscription. Someone dying after being locked in a sweltering-hot shipping container and begging for help. An underground cell known as “the oven” in one of the hottest places
