Whenever I ask someone to cite an environmental disaster Bhopal inevitably comes up. Others suggest Chernobyl. When I ask for the worst environmental disaster caused by an oil company, "Exxon Valdéz" spill is invariably at the top of the list.

Unfortunately, the Exxon Valdéz pales in comparison to the millions of tons of chemical waste dumped in the Amazon jungle by the Texaco/Chevron Corporation. 18 billion gallons of toxic waste water dumped from 1964 until 1992 has earned the Chevron Amazon environmental disaster the nickname, "The Rainforest Chernobyl".

From The Treehugger blog :

¡Justicia Now! One peoples fight against Big Oil is a short documentary by the directors Martin O'Brien and Robbie Proctor, of MoFilms, who accompanied John Quigley and Daryl Hannah on their trip to to create a staged protest in Ecuador in July 2007. It was premiered at the Artivist Film Festival in November with a presentation by actress and activist Q'Orianka Kilcher and is now available to everyone to watch online. The actor Stuart Townsend also appears in the film, as does Atossa Soltani the founder of Amazon Watch and the lawyers Steven Donziger and Pablo Fajardo who are leading the indigenous people's case against Chevron Texaco. Watch this inspiring testament to the power of collaboration in the fight for justice.

The video was broken down into three parts at YouTube. With this one player we have embedded on the post you can watch all portions of the documentary. You can also go to the Justicia NOW! website and download the whole documentary as well.

It's just electrifying.
