History and future of the most popular fossil energy in the world.
By bringing together archival footage, NASA documents and film clips, director Ray McCormack and journalist Basil Gelpke were already predicting the oil crisis we entered two years ago. In a world tour of experts, their documentary shows how, in 150 years, man has almost exhausted reserves which have taken millions of years to build up. This raises worrying questions for the near future: how much oil is left? Could it be that a war breaks out between countries snatching up the last reserves? Research is turning to new sources of energy, so that one day we can compensate for the depletion of these non-renewable resources. Thus, beyond the future of petroleum and its history, the film questions the energy question as a whole, undoubtedly the most important and most complex of our time, of which it exposes with clarity and rigor the ecological, economic and political parameters.

By making the right decisions today, we could probably avoid the worst ... at least economically since ecologically it may already be too late ...
