A Crude Awakening: Q&A

Documentary filmmakers Ray McCormack and Basil Gelpke for a special preview screening of A Crude Awakening, which tells the potentially tragic story of our dependence on diminishing natural resources.

A Crude Awakening is based around the growing theory that a peak in global oil production has been reached and that civilization as we know it is about to face a future akin to the Great Depression of the 1930s.

The directors join Amanda Palmer at a Q&A to talk not only about how our oil-dependent global economy is headed for a downturn, but how the film's conclusion questions our very way of life.
