Blood and Oil, featuring Michael Klare, a senior visiting fellow at the Arms Control Association in Washington D.C. and the defense correspondent for The Nation, offers a riveting look at how U.S. efforts to control the global flow of fossil fuels has led to endless war, alliances with authoritarian regimes like Saudi Arabia, and the undermining of democratic movements around the world.

The film details how the militarization of U.S. energy policy has been deceptively spun and sold to the American public by American political leaders and a largely complicit corporate news media. 

Blood and Oil is an ideal resource for university courses that look at U.S. politics, relations between democratic and authoritarian regimes, energy and security policy, American militarism and interventionism, corporate news media framing, political propaganda, and pro-war disinformation campaigns.
