Oil Sands Karaoke

Oil Sands Karaoke

Oil Sands Karaoke is a documentary about five oil patch workers vying to win a karaoke contest in one of the most controversial places on the planet on the planet — Northern Alberta’s infamous Oil Sands. These five characters know they’re at the center of a global controversy and yet they continue to work there, under extremely arduous physical conditions, and working long hours for extended periods without a single day off. Why? For the money. But what motivates a person in this situation to sing karaoke, let alone take it seriously?

A documentary unlike any other, “Oil Sands Karaoke” will make us laugh, sing along, and perhaps re-examine our biases.
