FLASH MOVIE SUMMARY

Our Flash presentation provides a short introduction to the issues, and demonstrates how the public relations rhetoric from the oil industry and the Bush administration contradicts the government's own research and background information. The movie also features a spokeswoman from the Gwich'in people, whose lives would be severely impacted if drilling is permitted.

The presentation uses the Macromedia Flash Player. If you do not have this on your computer, you will be prompted to download it and it will install itself automatically.

The presentation runs about 7 minutes. If you connect to the Intenet using a 56k modem, it should take about 3 minutes for the movie to start (depending on internet traffic). It is well worth the wait. If you have a fast connection, it should, of course, start much sooner.

If internet traffic is particularly heavy, the presentation may stop and start at times. (or stop and not restart). If this happens to you, we recommend that you either download the whole movie (see the link below) or try again when traffic is less. If you have problems, read our troubleshooting guide.

Make sure sound is enabled on your computer - the movie is not very good without it!
