July 2008

Back in more innocent times – May 08, when oil was peaking at $150 a barrel, q director Richard Quinlan and BNN host Amanda Lang took a look at Norway’s enviable sovereign wealth fund and compared it to Alberta’s Heritage Fund.  The half-hour special is a compelling look at two very different approaches to black gold.  Norway’s disciplined approach to saving wealth from a non-renewable resource is enviable – and a model for oil rich countries from around the world.  

The show features incredible visuals by cameraman Steve Adamcryck, including Olso’s streets, the Nobel Peace Centre, Norway’s Oil Capital, Stavanger and the spectacular, rugged West Coast.  Editor Thomas Paloheimo helps provide a vivid contrast between two oil giants.  The special premiered July 24th, 2008 on BNN.
