Tuesday 26 June, 6.30pm (with Q&A) Ritzy Cinema, Brixton £5.00(ALSO 22-28 June, 1.30pm, £2.50) OIL, SMOKE AND MIRRORSis an independent 50 minute documentary on Peak Oil, 9/11 and the war on terror.
"Oil Smoke & Mirrors" offers a sobering critique of our perceived recent history, of our present global circumstances, and of our shared future in the light of imminent, under-reported and mis-represented energy production constraints. Through a series of impressively candid, informed and articulate interviews, this film argues that the bizarre events surrounding the 9/11 attacks, and the equally bizarre prosecution of the so-called "war on terror", can be more easily understood in the wider context of an imminent peak in possible supply of oil in the face of still rising demand. This demand gap will cause economic destabilisation and confict as nations scramble for the scraps. While the ideas presented in this film can at first seem daunting, it's ultimate assertion is that these challenges can indeed be met and surpassed, if, but only if, we can find the courage to perceive them.
