Winning 8 Awards at Film Festivals around the world, A Crude Awakening is an enlightening and profoundly shocking documentary feature film about how the citizens of planet earth are sucking dry our most valuable and non-renewable natural resource: Oil.Wonderfully crafted by award-winning filmmakers Basil Gelpke and Ray McCormack, it shows 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 multi-national energy corporations and academic institutes makes it clear they also believe a crisis is fast approaching.Candid and thought-provoking interviews from the worlds’ top experts make it abundantly clear that we are dangerously close to the bottom of the barrel. However, whilst hinting at how a world without oil would be, this fascinating yet disturbing exposé provides not only questions but a glimmer of hope for possible solutions to the most perplexing and important economic, environmental and public policy issue of our time.
A Crude Awakening is released in the UK on 9th November 2007 through Dogwoof Pictures.
