Brad Pitt Executive Produces Documentary BIG MEN, Premiering on PBS Tonight

As part of the 27th season of POV (Point of View), the nail-biting documentary "Big Men" will have its national broadcast premiere tonight, August 25 at 10:00pm on PBS. Executive produced by Brad Pitt, the film is an expose of the U.S. oil industry coming to Africa and provides an unprecedented inside look at the global deal-making and dark underside of energy development - a Contest for money and power that is reshaping the world.

Over five years, director Rachel Boynton and her cinematographer film a chilling look at the quest for oil in Ghana by Dallas-based Kosmos. The company develops the country's first commercial oil field, yet its success is quickly compromised by political intrigue and accusations of corruption.
