Covered with the Blood of Jesus

About This Movie

Covered with the Blood of Jesus is a gritty documentary that pulls no punches when showcasing the harsh realities of the Niger Delta. It's a raw look at how oil companies exploit resources while the local population suffers in poverty and environmental degradation. The film's pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb the weight of Richard's journey, a young man hustling to sell diesel he illegally taps from the pipeline. It’s a stark and haunting portrayal of resilience amidst despair, with a tone that oscillates between somber and defiant. The atmosphere is palpable, almost suffocating at times, as it sheds light on a region often overlooked. It’s a tough watch but provides genuine insight into a world many prefer to ignore.
