It has been widely-known, since the 1920's, that there are large reserves of oil underground in Uganda, but major exploration only really began in 2007. The recent oil exploration, by a host of international corporations, has indeed lead to the confirmation of large pockets of oil, but it has also left behind a devastating environmental impact. Toxic mud cuttings from the exploration has poisoned the land with unnaturally high levels of Lead, Zinc, Chromium, Cadmium, Nitrogen, Chloride - all of which can prove fatal if ingested. Aidan Heavey, the chief executive of Irish oil company, Tullow Oil, features, and we also hear about President Yoweri Museveni's plans to build a refinery in the country, which would cost US$2bn, half of the struggling country's GDP, and which would impact the environment even more. The oil companies, however, want Uganda to export crude, so that they can make profit from refining it elsewhere, but Museveni plans to use this oil find to build an industrial nation out of Uganda. Meanwhile, the health of the people, and the land of Uganda, gradually become more poisoned.
