Competition week 4

After a two week break for a tools down holiday the competition to win a DVD courtesy of Dogwoof Productions is back. Up for grabs this week is Peter Meller's Petropolis: Aerial Perspectives on the Alberta Tar Sands.

Described by Total Film as 'disturbing & illuminating' and narrated by Canadian actress and environmentalist Neve Campbell Dirty Oil is a behind the scenes look at the toxic Alberta Tar Sands, from where the US gets the majority of its oil and the impact on the environment of the 'largest industrial project on the planet today'.

The former police officer's views on 9/11 and energy issues have seen him labelled a paranoid 'conspiracy theorist' by his detractors. To win this eye opening look into Ruppert's divisive views just email me the answer to this question -
