Oil, Smoke & Mirrors

This film offers us a sobering critique of our perceived recent history, of our present global circumstances, and of our shared future in 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 credibly understood in the wider context of an imminent and critical divergence between available global oil supply and increasing global oil demand. "Oil, Smoke & Mirrors" paints is one of a tragically hyper-mediated global-political culture, which demonstrably disassociates itself from the values it claims to represent. 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 perhaps surpassed if, but only if, we can find first the courage to perceive them.
