BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND THE ROOSTER’S CROW - Ottawa

[Ms.Huxtable]

The lovely Laura Mac sent this out to us today. It looks fantastic and worthy of a good turn out.

BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND THE ROOSTER’S CROW, a film directed by Nadja Drost

Ottawa Premiere at the One World Film Festival, Thursday, October 13th

Follow the story of big oil from the toxic rivers of the Amazon to company headquarters in Alberta.

Canadian oil giant EnCana is under fire for the construction of an oil pipeline that is generating controversy and conflict in the Amazon.

Faced with the contamination of their lands and coercion by military forces, Ecuadorian peasants tap into reserves of remarkable strength and courage as they resist. Between Midnight and the Rooster’s Crow explores the experiences of the people whose lives are being drastically altered by the race for black gold -- a race fuelled by oil companies, a government desperate for foreign investment, and a rapidly-globalizing world.
