Meaningful Movies Bellevue The Oil Machine

Join Meaningful Movies Bellevue for a screening of the 2023 film, The Oil Machine, from Bullfrog Films. The Oil Machine explores our economic, historical and emotional entanglement with oil by looking at the conflicting imperatives around North Sea oil. This invisible machine at the core of our economy and society now faces an uncertain future as activists and investors demand change. By highlighting the complexities of how oil is embedded in our society—from high finance to cheap consumer goods—The Oil Machine brings together a wide range of voices from oil company executives, economists, young activists, pension fund managers and considers how this machine can be tamed, dismantled, or repurposed. This documentary looks at how the drama of global climate action is playing out in the fight over North Sea oil. Please join us immediately after the film for an inspiring Q&A session.
