Over a Barrel: The Truth about Oil (Enhanced DVD)

How did we get to where we are today; with roller coaster gas prices, often charging an arm and a leg for people to heat their homes and fill their cars? How is the price of gas decided? Why is the price of oil often so high in today's society? How can one place dictate the price of oil, and therefore the price of gas and other items? In this ABC documentary viewers will travel to Oklahoma to find answers to these questions and more. You will learn how the price of oil is decided, where the United States actually receives most of its oil from, and how the price of oil doesn't just effect the gas pumps. Also, learn about what oil has done to America, and others, by learning how oil drove the Iraq War.
