The Cost of Oil: Voices from the Arctic, a movie produced independently by Coulter Mitchell and Josh
Dukes of Stone Soup Productions, outlines the effects of offshore oil production on Alaska Native communities.
The film is a compilation of interviews with the
native peoples living on the North Slope of Alaska and experts from
Shell Oil, biologists from the Audubon Society and The Smithsonian
Institute, and environmentalists. These interviews have been added to
footage taken from the arctic tundra of Alaska resulting in a powerful
piece that shows some of the imminent danger that the world may face in
drilling for oil in the dangerous Arctic Ocean.
