Documentary series that tells the dramatic story of the oil industry - how it has dominated global politics, shaken the world economy and affected all our lives.
The Tinderbox. When the Yom Kippur war engulfed the Middle East, the Arab states decided to wield the oil weapon. The oil embargo caused panic, chaos, skyrocketing prices, feverish speculation and a hunt for oil at the very ends of the earth. Finally plummeting oil prices spelled the end of the Opec imperium.
