57 Minutes € Narrated by Peter Coyote €  Produced & Directed by David
Lavallee

Most Americans know little about the source of oil for the proposed Keystone
Pipeline -- the Tar Sands of Northern Alberta. The Tar Sands are not a
traditional oil field. The oil is extracted and processed from the sands at
a significant  and devastating environmental and health cost to the land and
people, and the process itself is a major contributor to climate change.

WHITE WATER, BLACK GOLD follows Canadian adventurer David Lavallee on his
three-year journey across Western Canada in search of the truth about the
impact of the world¹s dirtiest and thirstiest oil industry. This is a
journey of jarring contrasts, from the pristine mountain ice fields that are
the source of the industry¹s water, to the Tar Sands tailing ponds, where
thousands of migrating birds have unwittingly landed and died.

In the course of his journey Lavallee, backed by university scientists,
makes a number of discoveries that raise serious concerns for Canada and the
United States.

Native peoples living downstream are contracting unusual cancers; new
science shows that water resources in an era of climate change will be
increasingly scarce; the proposed expansion of the oilfields to meet
Keystone Pipeline demand could endanger multiple river systems across Canada
that makeup about half of its water supply; and planned oil pipeline sacross
British Columbia and the U.S. bring fresh threats to rivers, salmon and the
Pacific Ocean.

WHITE WATER, BLACK GOLD is a powerful tool for waking up Americans to the
potential impact of the Keystone Pipeline, and clearly shows that we will be
paying the environmental, social and public health costs   long after the
oil has run dry.

"Recommended for every audience. Highlight(s) the environmental price North
Americans pay for domestic oil production. A strong case for public
awareness, change in government priorities, and more effective oversight of
oil corporations."
- Library Journal

"Highly Recommended. White Water Black Gold sends a strong message about the
current and potential future impacts of oil sands mining on land, water, and
wildlife resources. The question remains: ³Now that public opinion is
shifting against tar sands will Canadians bridge the gap between white water
and black gold?²
