Screening & Discussion with producer Sonja Henrici

Combining the voices of young activists, oil company executives, economists, and fund managers, The Oil Machine reveals the hidden infrastructure of oil – from the offshore rigs and the buried pipelines to its flow through the stock markets of London.

As the North Sea industry struggles to meet the need to cut carbon emissions, oil workers see their livelihoods under threat, and investors seek to protect their assets. Meanwhile, a younger generation of climate activists are catalyzed by signs of impending chaos and the very real threat of global sea level rise. From the perspective of citizens inside the UK, The Oil Machine explores the complexities of transitioning away from oil and gas as a society and considers: How quickly can it happen?
