The film “White Water, Black Gold” looks at the untold costs associated with developing the Alberta tar sands and asks how much environmental damage we're willing to tolerate to feed our oil appetite.
The film follows David Lavallee on his three-year journey across Western Canada in search of the truth about the impact of the world’s thirstiest oil industry. This is a journey of jarring contrasts, from the pristine mountain ice fields that are the source of the industry’s water, to the Tar Sands tailings ponds, where thousands of migrating birds have unwittingly landed and died. Both government and industry spokespeople deny any cause for concern, but in the course of his journey Lavallee, backed by university scientists, makes a number of discoveries that challenge that assessment and raise serious concerns for Canada and the United States.
