We know that the Alberta tar sands industry forms one of Canada’s biggest environmental blights. Now, a new documentary by award-winning filmmaker Peter Mettler shows us that the tar sands site is also stunning to look at, literally. Petropolis is a beautifully filmed piece portraying aerial perspectives of the open pit mines and processing facilities at the tar sands and also the pristine Boreal forest that surrounds the site. Petropolis filmmaker Peter Mettler joins reporter LeeAnne MacGregor in the studio to discuss this unique project that combines art and activism.

Guerrilla environmental activists the Yes Men have infamously exploited all forms of media to shame the WTO, the BBC, Dow Chemical, the New York Times, Exxon, Haliburton, the US Chamber of Commerce and most recently, the Government of Canada. Yes Man “Andy Bichlbaum” joins Peter Stock in studio in advance of the Toronto opening of their new film “The Yes Men Fix the World”.
