Pouring Water on Troubled Oil

In 1951, the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company set out to produce a publicity film promoting its activities in Iran. They hired the poet Dylan Thomas. His job, he would later remark, was to “pour water on troubled oil”. This poetic film follows Thomas’s journey capturing his encounter with the country and its people as a political upheaval for oil nationalization unfolds. 　　源自：http://etu...
