Ok, so this one isn't family friendly as my last recommendation was but it also is a must see. Syriana is a complex film that opens your eyes to the world of oil production. It reminded me of The Constant Gardener , also a must see movie. We just watched Syriana tonight and are left with the question of now what?? If anyone else has seen the movie I'd be interested in discussing the question of how complicit we are as consumers in the chain of events, as depicited in the movie, surrounding oil exportation and consumption. Obviously the movie is fiction, but similar to The Constant Gardener I have no doubt that the underhanded deals etc... protrayed are not far from reality. Thoughts anyone???
