Pouring Water on Troubled Oil
Synopsis
A poetic documentary following Welsh poet Dylan Thomas's journey through Iran in 1951 on an assignment to write a publicity film for the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. Combining archival photographs with Thomas's own words (spoken by actor Michael Sheen), the film captures the poet's haunting vision of oil, colonialism and exploitation.
