dans le genre documentaire qui ouvre les yeux, je vous signale un film sur le pétrole "crude awakening" qui vient de sortir down under (sûrement bientôt en Europe aussi). Pas encore vu, mais le critique ciné de SBS Tv dit que c'est "comme Unconvenient Truth mais sur le sujet du pétrole".
A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash, produced and directed by award-winning European journalists and filmmakers Basil Gelpke and Ray McCormack, tells the story of how our civilization’s addiction to oil puts it on a collision course with geology. The idea that the world’s oil supplies have peaked, or will soon, is gaining mainstream currency. You needn’t be a conspiracy theorist to see a connection between America’s current obsessions with the Middle East and national security, and the world’s looming oil crisis. The frenzied search for alternative sources of energy now being pursued by the largest multinational energy corporations makes it clear they also believe a crisis is fast approaching. Each day’s headlines, whether the subject is Iraq or South America, sheds new light on the issue. Shot on location at oil fields in Azerbaijan, Venezuela, the Middle East and Texas, with original music by Daniel Schnyder and Philip Glass, the film provides not only questions, but possible solutions to the most perplexing and important economic, environmental and public policy issue of our time.
