The video showcases two villages in Indonesia where crude oil is extracted conventionally. The crude oil is extracted manually using drilling rigs, and the process involves separating crude oil from groundwater and impurities. Workers face safety hazards and work long hours to extract the crude oil, which is then refined into diesel fuel. While crude oil extraction methods are not permitted, the process is essential to the livelihoods of people in these villages. Despite the risks, the workers continue to extract oil in traditional ways to sustain their families.
