Episode Details

Shell’s internal documents reveal it ignored warnings for years about the catastrophic pollution caused by its Nigerian oil pipeline, the Nembe Creek Trunk Line, which spilled millions of barrels since 1958 and destroyed fishing grounds and livelihoods. Despite staff alarms and classified “red zone” assessments, executives chose to keep operations running, citing theft and crime as reasons — even as communities sue for $1 billion in damages and cleanup. Shell now claims the documents lack context, but residents and activists, including the legacy of Ken Saro-Wiwa, remain determined to hold the company accountable for decades of environmental devastation.
