Szinopszis:
A poetic tribute to writer, poet and environmental activist, Ken Saro-Wiwa, who was executed alongside eight other activists for opposing Shell's environmental damage done in his oil-rich homeland. Weaving together a tapestry of interviews with those closest to Ken, and infused with his deeply evocative poetry, I Am More Dangerous Dead unflinchingly examines the effects of Big Oil in the places and people they exploit from. It poses the question, would you sacrifice your life for what you believe in?
Rendező biográfia:
I Am More Dangerous Dead is a film born out of my personal experience growing up in the oil-rich Niger Delta, in the oil-infested lands and rivers as a result of over 60 years of oil exploitation by multinational oil corporations like Shell Oil in the region. After moving to the U.S., I noticed that Shell is one of the most popular gas stations in the country. There is a Shell gas station every few miles in big cities. People do not know where the gas they buy comes from, or what effect it has had on the people and places it is being exploited from, and the lives that were lost in the process. In 2020, Global Witness recorded 227 murders of environmental activists worldwide.
