Total Denial (2006)

Total Denial plot

Fifteen villagers who have never left the jungles of Burma are filing a lawsuit in America against a giant oil company for violating human rights. After ten years of litigation, the seemingly impossible victory follows. In 1992, two Western oil companies, France's TOTAL and California's UNOCAL, teamed up with the Burmese government to build a gas pipeline. In the American courtroom it is shown that the Burmese army forced the local population into slave labor. Burned-down villages, raped women, tortured and killed porters, hundreds of thousands of men, women and children hiding in the jungle: these are the horrific signs of this silent genocide. Activist and ethnic Karen student Ka Hsaw Wa has been hiding in the jungle for more than seven years. Wanted by the police in Burma and Thailand, he collected testimonies from thousands of victims of human rights violations and environmental pollution.
