*Crude Impact* is an award winning new documentary feature film on peak 
oil about to be released on DVD. The film looks at the impact of oil on 
human rights, climate change, population, food production and more. It's 
a timely film with an important message. We think you will find the 
trailer compelling. (from the producers). 

there's a trailer for "Crude Impact"

Remarks *by Rob Hopkins from Transition Culture "*Last week I watched 
the new peak oil film, *Crude Impact*, produced by Vista Clara films, 
which has just emerged on DVD. It describes itself as “a film about how 
energy use, particularly fossil fuels, has impacted the earth, mankind 
and other species”, and is one of a couple of new peak oil films coming 
out over the next few months. I had been looking forward to seeing it 
for some time, and I found it to be an extremely well-made film which 
clearly and passionately presents the argument that we are at or near 
the peak, which will be a transition of historic importance.

They are making a sequel to The End of Suburbia film called "Escape from 
Suburbia" due out in March.

(Personally I think much of suburbia needs to be redesigned / 
relocalized / revillaged rather than "escaped".  Ditto for "urbia'. Love 
to hear some discussion on the subject. Keith)
