BLACK GOLD is the story of the coverup of the century – of the boss atop a trillion dollar industry who discovered a shocking truth 40 years ago, created a black ops conspiracy to hide the evidence, and would stop at nothing to keep the money flowing as the world burned. A CEO nicknamed “Iron-Ass;” whistleblowers from Exxon’s own labs; professional climate deniers and spin doctors; a NASA scientist and a US Vice-President are among the characters in this thriller based on a decades-long plot to trade our planet for profit. Directed by Emmy award winner Gabrielle Schonder and Oscar-nominee Zach Heinzerling and presented by Oscar-nominated director Darren Aronofsky's PROTOZOA & TIME Studios, this gripping documentary exposes a global conspiracy that changed the world forever.
