‘The Rig’ Creator Adapting Geoff Dembicki’s Bombshell Investigation Into Fossil Fuel Companies & Climate Change For TV


Geoff Dembicki's 'The Petroleum Papers' is being adapted for TV by 'The Rig' creator David MacPherson.

EXCLUSIVE: A bombshell investigation into how fossil fuel companies blocked action to prevent climate change is being turned into a TV series. New Pictures boss Willow Grylls and EP Imogen O’Sullivan said the TV show, which is yet to land a buyer, will build on Dembicki’s “powerful investigative journalism to create a multi-stranded drama which lays bare the decades-long conspiracy to block meaningful action on climate change in the pursuit of profit.” Dembicki said: “The story of how oil companies worked behind the scenes for decades to deny their role in climate change isn’t just one of the most enraging corporate cover-ups in modern history, it’s also a fascinating human saga of greed, denial and the power of truth-telling.
