Powerful documentary that warns of an impending oil-crisis. Taking a similar line to Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth', the premise behind this documentary is that we're all drinking in the last chance saloon. With testimonies from the world's energy experts, the film reaches the conclusion that oil reserves are disappearing fast, and that a crisis of global proportions looms. More worrying however, is the realisation that the major industrial societies have no back-up plan in place to deal with the inevitable shortage, and that unless western society re-invents its relation to energy needs, economic meltdown is inevitable.

Filmmakers Basil Gelpke and Ray McCormack team up to deliver a grave warning in this documentary on the oil industry. Gelpke and McCormack are firm believers that the world's oil resources are in dangerously short supply, and that the price of oil is about to rise to previously unthinkable levels. The film also offers some possible solutions to the oil crisis by looking at alternative energy sources.
