A Crude Awakening - The Oil Crash

A shocking wake-up call that is set to do for energy what Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth' did for the environment, 'A Crude Awakening' is a compelling, intelligent and urgent warning that the age of abundant oil is over.

Featuring testimonies from the world's top experts, this startling documentary reaches an ominous yet logical conclusion - the Earth's oil supplies are peaking and a crisis of global proportions looms. Even more alarmingly, industrial societies don't have any plans how to deal with the shortage, threatening the future of our post-industrialised fossil fuel-addicted civilization with disaster.
