Tar Sands: The Selling of Alberta
captures the intersecting storylines of a remarkable cast of characters
eager to cash in on the oil boom in Fort McMurray, Alberta. Washington
lobbyists, Newfie pipefitters, Chinese investors and Norwegian
industrialists descend on tar-soaked “Fort McMoney”, a modern-day
Eldorado, where rents are sky rocketing and cocaine abuse is four times
the provincial average. Up for grabs – a stake in a $100 billion energy
bonanza and Canada’s economic sovereignty.
