Crude Reflections/Cruda Realidad: Oil, Ruin and Resistance in the Amazon Rainforest/Petroleo, Devastacion y Resistencia En La Amazonia

by Lou Dematteis

Crude Reflections/Cruda Realidad: Oil, Ruin and Resistance in the Amazon Rainforest/Petroleo, Devastacion y Resistencia En La Amazonia Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Crude Reflections chronicles the human and environmental impact of oil drilling in the Ecuadorian Amazon, where the pollution is so extensive that medical experts currently predict thousands of deaths from cancer and the disappearance of five indigenous rainforest communities.

Photographers Lou Dematteis and Kayana Szymczak have documented the physical and emotional reality of those affected by this toxic contamination, roughly thirty times greater than the more widely reported Exxon Valdez oil spill. Their powerful images are accompanied by moving first-person testimonies from the victims, and the uplifting story of efforts by local communities to seek justice and to prevent further drilling.
