Winner of the Vaclav Havel Special Award for Human Rights 2006, this inspiring documentary examines the construction of the UNOCA L / TOTAL oil pipeline in Burma – now called Myanmar and controlled by a military dictatorship – where two powerful western corporations made business deals with a junta infamous for human rights abuses, and where slave labour is all too common. In the lawsuit Doe vs. UNOCAL, 15 plaintiffs who have never been out of the Burmese jungle will fight their corporate abusers head-on in an unprecedented legal battle, profoundly affecting the actions of corporations worldwide.
