Overview

James Hill (Born Free) directs this beautifully shot documentary about the adventure of oil exploration, deep in the tropics of Papua New Guinea. The vibrancy of the tropics and the block primary colours of the oil machinery are both wonderfully rendered in the Eastman colour photography, but the modern eye also lingers on the denuded rainforest. The film is one of several films Hill made for British Petroleum.
