A couple of updates on that documentary I talked about in Daily Dose #1.1 – TIpping Point: The Age of the Oil Sands
1. You can now watch it online here, runs 90 min:

2. I listened to a pretty good interview on Thursday with James Cameron about this documentary and the oilsands, on Q (with Jian Ghomeshi…of course!). Do you think Cameron should get involved, as a Canadian, who grew up in rural Canada and who has lived in the United States for over 30 years?
In the interview, they discuss this a bit. They also talk about what inspiration the oil sands gave to the making of Avatar, as the art director himself is from Alberta.
