A stunning docudrama featuring a local news cast spin off on the effects of the world reaching peak oil, and the
possible decline of civilization to follow. Reviews & ExerptsI've gotten a copy of Jim McQuaid's docudrama that we're going to be using in the "Amazn Artz @ Craven Community College" series. I'd like for you to see it. This is a film which the community needs to see -- environmental groups, parents, commuters, everyone. It's a mock newscast from the near future about how dwindling oil reserves may soon affect people on the local level. Somewhat scary film but relevant to us all. (I'm already spending around $70 a week on gas just to come to work - and that's at today's prices, not tomorrow's!) ... I want you to see this asap.--Kerry Cox, Professor of Communications, Craven Community College, New Bern, North Carolina This film takes on an important subject: What will happen when we reach peak oil production? What will happen when gas reaches $10 a gallon? Most of us only think about the oil crisis as it relates to our gas tanks. This film looks at gas aspect, but it hits home in many other ways as well. I really liked the way the filmmakers chose to use a small community as the backdrop for this film. I think most of us are so used to looking only at the national picture that we never think about how this issue can affect almost every aspect of our lives. This film forces you to consider the other hardships that will be a result of the end of cheap oil. No more fruit from Coast Rica, no more coffee from Colombia, and maybe even no more beef from Montana. We won't be able afford to ship these items to the thousands of grocery stores around the country (and the world for that matter). And don't forget about the fact that oil is in countless different non-gas related products that we use. The end of cheap oil is going to force major changes on us all. Oil production is about to peak. It's only down from here. What are you going to do about it? -D. Parry - Amazon.com |
