The Crisis Of Civilization

crisis

The Crisis of Civilization is a feature length remix investigating how global crises like ecological disaster, financial meltdown, dwindling oil reserves, terrorism and food shortages are converging symptoms of a single, failed global system.

Weaving together archival film footage and animations, film-maker Dean Puckett, animator Lucca Benney and international security analyst Dr. Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed – author of A User’s Guide to the Crisis of Civilization: And How to Save It – offer a stunning wake-up call proving that ‘another world’ is not merely possible, but on its way.

Like the book on which it is based, the film consists of seven parts which explore the interconnected dynamic of global crises of Climate Catastrophe; Peak Energy; Peak Food; Economic Instability; International Terrorism; and the Militarization Tendency – with a final section on The Post-Peak World.

Featuring clowns, car crashes, explosions, acrobats, super heroes, xylophones and much, much more!

Moving this video to kulpims's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Wow this is depressing. I worry about my children's futures. I feel trapped in my lifestyle. How can I stop using fossil fuels when they are so ingrained in my society and everything we do? Change needs to happen now and it needs to be global and substantial.
