Lube Job

Produced by two veteran journalists, LUBE JOB uncovers the oil and gas industries role in what could be one of the greatest environmental catastrophes in modern times, an ecological tragedy that threatens to eradicate much of southern Louisiana, including its revered fishing trade and age-old way of life.

With archival footage and expert commentary, LUBE JOB explores the industry's beginnings in 1901 through the unregulated oil boom of the 1930's, to the decades of corruption that followed. The film presents proof of the industry's knowledge of the consequences of its actions and corrupt intent, disclosing internal memos and dramatic photographs. Stunning aerial footage shows the extent of wetlands destruction.
