Even as the science grew more certain, the oil industry continued to block action to tackle climate change in the new millennium. In a revelatory interview, Christine Todd Whitman, George W. Bush's former environment chief, tells the story of how the industry successfully lobbied President Bush to reverse course on his campaign promise to regulate carbon emissions. Tensions grew between two of the world's biggest oil companies, ExxonMobil and BP, after the latter publicly called for action to tackle climate change. The election of Barack Obama provided hope for supporters of climate action, but the billionaire Koch brothers made an effort to block the new president's attempts to pass climate change legislation, and climate denialism became the mainstream position of the Republican Party. A lawyer who worked for Koch brothers through this period speaks on camera for the first time.
The last chapter explains how the 2010s became another lost decade in the fight against climate change – as the move to natural gas delayed a transition to more renewable sources of energy. Engineer Tony Ingraffea, in the 1980s, helped develop a new technique for extracting gas and oil from shale rock, which ultimately became known as 'Fracking'. It was to unleash vast new reserves of fossil fuels and was promoted as a cleaner energy source. But Ingraffea explains how he later came to regret his work when he realized that gas could be even worse for climate change than coal and oil. Dar-Lon Chang, a former ExxonMobil engineer, speaks for the first time on camera alleging that as the company increased its natural gas operations, it was not sufficiently monitoring methane leaks that were contributing to climate change. Now, after a year of unprecedented wildfires, drought and other climate-related disasters, multiple lawsuits are being brought in US courts in efforts to hold Big Oil legally accountable for the climate crisis.
A cult expert and her documentary filmmaker husband move into a secretive fundamentalist Mormon community linked to the polygamist FLDS movement, expecting to document a troubled religious group but soon uncovering something far more disturbing. At the center of the growing tension is Samuel Bateman, a self-proclaimed prophet who claims to be the successor to imprisoned cult leader Warren Jeffs. As the couple gains the trust of isolated followers, they uncover disturbing evidence of psychological control and a dangerous system hidden behind promises of faith and salvation. The documentary reveals the growing power of fanaticism and blind devotion inside one of America’s most controversial religious sects. In the first two episodes of the series, Christine and Tolga settle inside the isolated community and quickly become suspicious of Bateman’s growing influence over vulnerable followers. As they secretly record testimonies and gather evidence, they desperately try to convince local authorities to intervene before the situation becomes even more dangerous. Meanwhile, Bateman strengthens his control through fear, isolation, and religious manipulation, while one woman inside the group slowly begins to realize the truth behind the prophet she once trusted. Combining undercover investigation, emotional testimonies, and mounting suspense, these episodes create a gripping and deeply unsettling experience.
