Black Gold tells the story of the coverup of the century – a gripping three-part documentary series exposing a global conspiracy that changed the world forever.
The trailer for Black Gold reveals a decades-deep conspiracy to alter the public perception of climate change in order to keep making money off of the oil industry.
Tanya Giles, chief programming officer at Paramount+:
“We are incredibly excited to bring such a captivating documentary from such a renowned filmmaker to Paramount+. Black Gold offers viewers the opportunity to gain insight and immerse themselves in the investigation into a global conspiracy that is relevant to today’s current events.”
Ian Orefice, president and COO of TIME and TIME Studios:
“TIME has been at the forefront of covering the climate change crisis for decades. Black Gold tells a crucial piece of the history of today’s climate crisis, and TIME Studios is proud to partner with Darren Aronofsky and PROTOZOA, CBS News, and Paramount+ along with Iconic Events to bring this urgent story to audiences around the world.”
Steve Bunnell, chief executive officer of Iconic Events Releasing:
