CNN Exclusive Report Shows How The Oil Exploration Initiative United Traditional Political Adversaries and Created Jobs in Prime Time.

The long-awaited exclusive series ‘Oil in the Amazon’ premieres on CNN next Monday (18), airing during CNN Prime Time at 8 PM. The production focuses on oil exploration in the Amazon.

The program addresses oil exploration in the largest tropical rainforest in the world and is led by CNN political analyst Caio Junqueira, with footage from cinematographer Djalma Sena. Both traveled to the region to document the situation up close.

Although the venture could generate billions of reais in profit and financially benefit the states affected by the exploration, the environmental risk is significant, as is the responsibility involving the use of public funds. The series will address the complexity of the oil scenario in the Amazon and its consequences for the region and the world.
