Detective Carlos crossed the border three times that night, but the case wasn't about smuggling. It was about oil. This 2010 documentary investigates the hidden history of petroleum, tracing a century of corporate and political manipulation that keeps gasoline prices high. Through interviews with inventors, economists, and insiders, it exposes suppressed technologies and the myths of energy scarcity. A compelling investigative documentary, *GasHole* pulls back the curtain on the fuel in your tank and asks who really profits from every mile you drive.

🔍 Search on JustWatch →The directorial approach relies on sharp juxtaposition of facts, crafting an atmosphere of a systemic inquiry. It frames dry economic data within a narrative of hidden power, making the flow of oil feel like a covert operation.
This is for the viewer seeking to decode the mechanics behind everyday prices. You'll likely finish it with a clarified, if sobering, perspective on entrenched structures. — MovieFinder Editorial
