The Prize: World History of Oil

In 1992 The Prize, written by Daniel Yergin, won the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction and has been translated into fourteen languages as well as a documentary, presented  in 8 video episodes. In the style of the acclaimed Civil War series, and narrated by Donald Sutherland, The Prize tells the epic history of oil—how it has dominated global politics, shaken the world economy, and transformed our planet for better and for worse.

Shot on location in Azerbaijan, Egypt, England, Indonesia, Japan, Kuwait, Mexico, Russia, Scotland, Turkey, and the United States, the series features many fascinating characters (beginning with John D. Rockefeller), never-before-seen archival footage, newly filmed segments, and interviews with people who shaped the oil industry.

Here are excerpts from the first episode:
