Oil Weapon, The

• 1975 ----- color ----- 50 min ----- 16mm
• Hardly anyone in the Western world still remembers or even knows there was an earlier attempt in 1967 by the Arab oil producers to use oil as a weapon in their confrontation with Israel. It failed totally and in the West conventional wisdom said that the oil weapon had been tried, it didn't work and could, therefore, be forgotten. But in the fall of 1973 the Arabs pulled their failed weapon off the shelf; this time it worked so well that even the Arabs were surprised. There has been endless discussion of the oil crisis ever since that time.
