In four chapters, Oliver Ressler discusses a site where the oil industry in collaboration with the Norwegian state testing CO₂ capture technology. Carbon and Captivity is not an attempt to approach this project on neutral ground, but instead, to make its fundamental absurdity even more clearly visible through the means of film.
