Not too long ago I stumbled across this film in the movie store and thought I’d check it out. I love to watch documentaries and this one seemed to look pretty interesting.
When I got home I turned on the TV and tossed it in the DVD player and I was hooked. “A crude awakening” is about the eminent oil crash we will one day have on our hands and how the earth is being effected by our ever growing demand for oil. It talks about the history of oil and how oil drives the world economy and what we’re willing to do as a “civilized” people to get it.
I gotta tell ya, this is a pretty terrifying movie that just goes to show you how wreck less and carefree we are towards the environment. Not that I’m all brainwashed or anything but this documentary brings up some scary facts about our struggle to drain the earth of oil.
It even goes on to talk about how wars are fought to keep countries in power because of their addiction to oil. Oil is the basis of the economy. Not Gold. Big named people in our governments have ties to oil companies and it doesn’t even get too much attention when you think about it. But that’s all for you to see.
Go rent this movie. It shows Human beings in a whole new light that is equally interesting as it is disturbing. This documentary will leave you with a few things to think about and hopefully change the way you think about oil and energy consumption.
