Since Ive indulged in several documentaries talking about peak oil and food issues, Netflix now highlights other, similar, movies for me to consider. Todays recommendation was A Crude Awakening. This is not a comfortable film to watch, but its interesting to see that it came out in 2006 - the same year world-wide oil production peaked.
If documentary films about the screwed up food/energy/carbon situation depress you, dont watch this one. But if such documentaries energize you to live sustainably and work towards a peaceful post-oil future, then feel free to flex your brain with this particular offering.
From a film student perspective, its interesting to compare the 2006 A Crude Awakening with the 2004 documentary The End of Suburbia. The two films cover similar ground and lay out almost the same facts. But I think the 2006 film is better. More terrifying, but better.
When I am old and [more] gray, it will be interesting to look back and see how the reality compares to the messages we are being given circa 2011.
