Poison Fire is a grassroots documentary that brings together video evidence and testimonies surrounding the impacts of oil spills and gas flaring in the Niger Delta.
One and a half million tons of crude oil has been spilled into the creeks, farms and forests - the equivalent to 50 Exxon Valdez disasters - one per year.
