The Story of Oil The First 100 Years
Someone learned how to drill for it. His name was Drake. Someone else learned how to exploit it. His name was Rockefeller and he created Standard Oil. Soon others learned, and they created Shell Oil.
Demand for the product grew immensely, thanks to a man named Ford.
Before long, more oil men cropped up. They all joined forces, and ‘The Seven Sisters’ became the world’s first oil cartel, controlling the world’s discovery, production and distribution of oil.

WWI happened. Either side would win or lose based on controlling the flow of oil. WWII happened. Ditto.
Around the same time, countries like Mexico and Venezuela rebelled against the Seven Sisters and nationalized their own oil infrastructure. Someone created Opec. His name was Alfonso.
Then, some nations in The Middle East nationalized their oil and they joined Opec.
Now there were two cartels (the Europeans tried to nationalize their own infrastructures with limited success), and the planet continued to consume its ‘unlimited’ supply of oil.
The filmmakers have interviewed world experts and curated archive and news footage from 1860 to 1960, utilizing resources in America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia to create “The Story of Oil…The First 100 Years”.
