Exxon Mobil announced a new oil spill in the Niger Delta today. There’s nothing beyond the announcement now—no word on how much is spilled, if people are hurt, etc. But with the US oil presence in Nigeria in the news for moment, it’s a good time to flag this documentary. 

Sweet Crude is the well told story of Big Oil in the Niger Delta (only a 50-year old phenomena), and the local resistance to it. If you’ve ever wanted to know how protest struggles evolve to include guns, and how we see the side we come to see, here’s one way.
