Details: Review " 'Crude Impact' goes deep and expansive on the political, environmental, and cultural costs of American dependence on oil" -- Tasha Robinson, CHICAGO TRIBUNE "Crude Impact is a terrific film. I have no hesitation in saying it is the best documentary I have seen on the subject... absolutely top notch." -- Chris Vernon, THE OIL DRUM "Crude Impact is a tiny, meaningful cry in the silence" -- Ray Pride, NEWCITY CHICAGO "Crude Impact" -- a shocking look at the devastation inflicted on the rest of the world by our country's wanton addiction to oil -- ought to be required viewing for every SUV-driving, mini-mansion-residing American. -- HopeDance Online Magazine "More concrete than other docs on the implications of big oil" -- Sarah Schieron, SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN Product Description CRUDE IMPACT deftly explores the interconnection between human domination of the planet and the discovery and use of oil, exposing our deeprooted dependency on the availability of fossil fuel energy. It examines the future implications of peak oil -- the point in time whenthe amount of petroleum worldwide begins a steady, inexorable decline. Journeying from the West African delta region to the heart of the Amazon rainforest, 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. It is a thought-provoking story filled with discovery, sorrow, outrage, humor and ultimately, hope.
