Everyday, the oil, gas and petrochemical industry writes off Black, Brown and Indigenous communities as ‘sacrifice zones.’ Big Oil’s Last Lifeline is Hip Hop Caucus’ three-part docu-series that takes us to the frontlines of the U.S.’ epicenters for petrochemical production: West Virginia, Houston, and along the Mississippi River in Louisiana. Writer and Director Takia “Tizzi” Green speaks with Rev Yearwood about the production of the films, the importance of Black creators telling their communities’ stories, and her pathway to artistry.
