wow. making an effort to consume more educational media and this was a crazy place to start. as someone who considers myself pretty well versed in international affairs and global politics compared to the average person, this was still jarring. phenomenal investigating portrayed in such a genuine way without seeming to intimidate on purpose, and provides comforting, viable solutions at the end. whether they’ll be done, who’s to say.
overall an extremely solid documentary and a fascinating topic. loses half a star because i’m anxious about it now oops

It’s insane the amount of games that Big Corporations and Big Government play in regards to natural resources.
