In Crude Impact, modern experts predict how quickly global
peak oil will become a reality and discuss its many serious implications for our way of life and
our world. Impacts discussed range from the environmental to the
cultural, examining how global oil dependency is impacting everything
from human rights
practices, world population, renewable energy technologies, political
agendas, globalization, wildlife habitats, and of course
global economy.
Journeying from the West African Delta region to the heart of the Amazon rainforest, from Washington to Shanghai, from early Man to the unknown future, Crude Impact chronicles the collision of our insatiable appetite for oil with the rights and livelihoods of indigenous cultures, other species and the planet itself. With great depth and insight, the film highlights the underlying myths and beliefs that are propelling us toward what many experts believe will be a cataclysmic period for humanity.
A story filled with discovery, sorrow, outrage, humor, and ultimately
hope, Crude Impact uncovers the complex entanglement of the fate of humankind with its fierce
dependence on petroleum, while providing
a vital inspiration for change. Available now at feature length, this full version is our best value and ideal for educational venues that can commit considerable time to this topic.
