Socialist leader Rafael Correa concerned film will be based on a book he alleges covered up actions of oil giant Chevron
The president of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, has asked Brad Pitt to abandon plans for a new film chronicling US oil giants’ victory in the face of a multibillion-dollar lawsuit for polluting the Amazon.
In an unprecedented move, the country’s socialist leader launched a Twitter campaign with the hashtag #braddotherightthing aimed at convincing the Oscar-winning producer and actor to walk away from the proposed movie.
#BradPitt #DoTheRightThing don’t produce a movie that´ll spread lies and support #Chevron´s irresponsability https://t.co/0hmh9loAMD
