Syriana - New film spotlights politics of oil corruption

The remarkable new film "Syriana," offers a gripping portrayal of the moral, political and financial corruption caused by the world's insatiable thirst for oil.

Starring George Clooney, Matt Damon, Jeffrey Wright and Amanda Peet, "Syriana" takes audiences inside a global energy system that creates devastating potential for conflict and violence.

NRDC has been working with Participant Productions, one of the film's producers, to spotlight opportunities that exist right now to reduce our oil use, and to build support for new bipartisan legislation that would cut our oil demand by 2.5 million barrels a day.
