“The human crisis is always a crisis of understanding: what we genuinely understand we can do." - Raymond Williams

The Crisis of Civilization is made by Director Dean Puckett (http://deaddean.blogspot.com/), commissioned by the Institute for Policy Research and Development (http://iprd.org.uk/) and based on interviews with Dr Nafeez Ahmed regarding the research contained in his new book A User's Guide to The Crisis of Civilization.
The film investigates and explains the interplay of the exigent circumstances that humanity faces in the post-industrial era - climate change, peak-oil, the military-industrial complex, neo-imperialism - and suggests how we can overcome these challenges to our existence.
Directed by Dean Puckett, it is an innovative mixture of interview footage, archive montage and original animation by Lucca Benney. The Crisis of Civilization is a highly creative activist documentary, and at this time of great political change and struggle the message and the medium of the film captures the grass roots political Zeitgeist.
The film is going to be totally open-content, available for free on-line and is not a profit-making exercise. It is completely self-funded and has been a labour of love for all those involved. We believe the message of this film is of the utmost importance to raising awareness of the current Geo-political threats to human survival and encouraging people to challenge the individuals and organisations who perpetrate those threats.
