Rourke plays a CEO of an oil company that will do anything to make money and is responsible for spills, pipeline explosions and burning villages in Nigeria.

The message is Western exploitation of Niger Delta, the local corruption that greases it and violent local resistance. “Black November” is due out later this year.

Amnesty International had this to say about the movie:

Amnesty International has extensively reported how spills of toxic crude oil from the operations of big oil companies, like Shell, have harmed people’s health and devastated their livelihoods in the Niger Delta. “BLACK NOVEMBER” brings vividly to life the terrible impact of oil company pollution and underscores the need to hold accountable the oil companies responsible.
