Crude Justice in DC Tonight

By Joe Consumer

If you live in the DC area, don't forget to attend a great event tonight hosted by the Alliance for Justice, featuring the film Crude Justice and a great panel discussion about the film and the important issues it raises:

Titled Crude Justice, the 17-minute documentary looks at the difficulties ordinary people face in finding fair compensation and a secure future for their families in the face of corporate domination of the courts, statutes favoring big business, judges with ties to the oil and gas industries, and the uncertainties that accompany an incident where the long-term effects may not be known for years. Crude Justice tells the story of damaged lives, but also of the fighting spirit and resilience of people who understand that what's threatened is not just justice for the victims of the spill, but the integrity of the American judicial system itself.
