BIG MEN ~ Boynton's African Oil Dilemma Docu...

Thanks to CGDev's Todd Moss for spotting Rachel Boynton's new BIG MEN documentary which...
"Follows the Texas-based Kosmos Energy as it searches for oil off the West African coast and then, soon after their discovery, as they renegotiate with a new government in Accra. The film also delves into the entrenched corruption and violence in the Niger Delta, providing a stark backdrop to the growing worries about what might happen in Ghana. I was lucky enough to see the film recently and it has three big strengths:
  1. Incredible access to key players, including inside Kosmos, the Government of Ghana, and the swamps of the Delta. 
  2. The complexities of the issues facing countries and investors are thoughtfully handled with care and subtlety. 
  3. The tension of a real-life thriller. "
