How Oil Companies Hid the Truth About Climate Change

This investigative documentary exposes how major oil companies understood the dangers of burning fossil fuels decades before the public did. Drawing on internal documents, it shows that firms like Exxon and Shell knew as early as the mid-twentieth century that their products were changing the climate, yet worked to obscure it. The film builds a careful case for a long campaign of doubt and delay. It is a revealing look at corporate knowledge, denial and the roots of the climate crisis.
