The Oil Price

An Iraqi Activist Fights for His Country

53 min

Available from 31/03/2026

Khalid Bin Al Walid Omar has taken up a dangerous fight in Iraq against pollution caused by national and multinational oil companies. Throughout the country, respiratory diseases, cancer and sudden deaths near oil fields are increasing dramatically, a phenomenon that environmentalists and doctors attribute to the expansion of production quotas in the oil industry. A raw material, which should be a blessing for a country, is a curse for Iraq, as the people by the price of oil.
