Big Men is a 2014 documentary film produced and directed by Rachel Boynton. It examines corruption in the oil industries of Africa. The film was released on March 14, 2014, to critical acclaim.

Production

The crew filmed between 2007 and 2011, in Ghana and Nigeria.[4]

Reception

Big Men was acclaimed by critics. It holds a 90/100 on Metacritic[2] and a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[5] In The New York Times, Jeannette Catsoulis wrote that "this cool and incisive snapshot of global capitalism at work is as remarkable for its access as for its refusal to judge."[6] Alan Scherstuhl of The Village Voice opined that the film "is no simple screed against tick-like profiteers growing fat on malnourished hosts," but instead "a richly detailed portrait".[7]

In The Washington Post, Stephanie Merry argued, "Boynton’s most impressive feat in “Big Men” is how she takes an impossibly convoluted scenario, makes sense of it and tells a story that’s riveting on its own but also serves as a parable about greed and human nature."[8]
