Between Midnight and the Rooster's Crow
a film about EnCana in Ecuador

directed by Nadja Drost

Follow the story of big oil from the toxic rivers of the Amazon to company headquarters in Alberta.

Canadian oil giant EnCana is under fire for the construction of an oil pipeline that is generating controversy and conflict in the Amazon.

Faced with the contamination of their lands and coercion by military forces, Ecuadorian peasants tap into reserves of remarkable strength and courage as they resist. Between Midnight and the Rooster’s Crow explores the experiences of the people whose lives are being drastically altered by the race for black gold -- a race fuelled by oil companies, a government desperate for foreign investment, and a rapidly-globalizing world.
