If you've followed the Amazon dam situation and sympathized with the plight of indigenous people who are pushed aside (a la James Cameron's Avatar) to make way for highly profitable industry, then the actions of oil giant Chevron in Ecuador’s Amazon jungle might not surprise you.
Documented in the film "Crude", the filmmaker -- Joe Berlinger -- is now gripped in a battle of his own with Chevron.
Remarkably, he has been ordered to hand over 600 hours of footage to Chevron so they can use it to their benefit.
