  I saw this series on PBS years ago. Does anyone wonder why it has never been put on DVD? At this point there are 6 VHS copies I can find ranging from $179 -900plus. This is information that should be available. What has happened to it?

• A Must View (revised)
  This movie should be viewed by High School Seniors as a requirement to graduation. The impact the oil industry has had on the modern world is to large to ignore. All who view this movie will have a better understanding of corporations, war, greed, and power in the 20th and 21st centuries. Really a documentry of the industrial revolution and the rise and possible fall of nations. A footnote here; Why is this movie so expensive? It's almost as if it's being censored by the very powers and countries it... more info

• Excellent - should be a requirement for every American
  It is a shame there aren't more reviews for this series. Hopefully it will be transferred to DVD with a lower price for more people to watch. I was fortunate to check them out at my local library.

  I was motivated to watch this after watching the more recent Commanding Heights series on DVD also by Daniel Yergin.

  The scope of this series is very impressive. Recent and archival footage weave a very powerful narrative on nearly the entire history, worldwide scope, and impact of the massive oil industry.... more info

• very excellent series
  This is a good overview and introduction about the oil industy. Much of which I did not know, especially in light of our recent invasion of Iraq. Should be required viewing by all americans. I also recommend the companion book by Daniel Yergin as well, which is more detailed and exhaustive than the video. The video series, while excellent, are more like a cliff notes version of the book.
