Editor's Take

Tracing the rise of the petroleum industry, the film follows the money and influence of the great oil dynasties well beyond energy into politics, medicine, and education. It is a sweeping and openly critical history, arguing that a single sector shaped much of the modern world. The scope is deliberately broad and the thesis pointed, so the account is best read as argument rather than settled record. Approached that way, it offers a provocative through-line across a century of industrial power.

How Big Oil Conquered the World traces the rise of the petroleum industry and the way it reshaped the modern world. The film follows the money and influence of the great oil dynasties, arguing that their reach extended far beyond energy into politics, medicine, and education. It presents a sweeping and critical history of how a single commodity came to dominate the global economy. It is a dense, provocative account of power built on oil.
