So you can give the dvd to a friend. Telling someone to find it on the tube they'll probably never watch it. Its a much softer introduction to peak than this site for sure. :-D

just watched the movie, download is free from

HERE

One thing that I got from this is that having any stocks and shares is a dumb fool thing and any stocks in Airlines should be sold tomorrow as the film predicts (quite rightly and obviously IMHO) that there will simply be no more Air travel soon and never ever again :shock:

I watched it with a peak oil denial person who is now converted and what did it mostly was the boxes placed behind Matt Saviner!
but it worked.
Well done once again Matt. You are definitely Savi in these matters.

I remember as a kid asking a committed, and well read Marxist why he was so ideologically driven. And his reply was:

"Do you think that this planet is able to support everyone owning a car? When this system has run its course, they will even be selling their grandmothers (granny farming?)"

That made so much sense at the time that I have been utterly convinced of the failure of this system through my adolescent and adult years. On the down side, I've never quite made it as a yuppie...so there is a cost to be paid. You end up being an angst driven nerd.

A Crude Awakening was shown in Finnish tv!

Unread postby Tuike » Fri 18 Jan 2008, 15:55:17

A Crude Awakening was shown in Finnish tv in last wednesday! I missed it but it can be streamed from the tv companys website: http://areena.yle.fi/toista?id=1014725

I'm not sure can the movie be played from a foreign ip-address, but you can try.

There will be a rerun on monday TV1 23:35. The Finnish name for the doc is "Ulkolinja: Oljy loppuu, mita sitten?"

I liked the film alot. There was some good music.

It was great ...My wife saw it, and then at the weekend we watched the streamed version [and I down loaded a copy]. For me it was nothing new, but it was quite a shock to my wife, with some typical overreactions ("all modern wars are only about oil"). The trouble is to move from the shock to doing something!

BTW all the section headings are in Finnish.. Good luck for people guessing what it all about.

I checked the infobox more carefully, it says the streaming version is viewable only from Finland. Copyright reasons and so forth.

Hmm Finnish proxy should work though 8)
Peak oil is only an indication and a premise of limits to growth on a finite planet.

Hi. I think that I saw somewhere a mention that this was a shortened version, due to the time constraint or something (appears the program has only so much time/showing). Hoping that they left nothing really relevant out. Haven't yet had time to look at it, though.

BTW, there was earlier this month a danish document about Greenland ice melting etc. Quite interesting, if you can still find it somehow.

Reminder, there's an hour left to the rerun! (In case there's some finns reading the forum right now)

I have sent some positive feedback to Yle for broadcasting the program, I hope others send too if you like it.

If you click on the "more from this user" link you'll see they also loaded up something about an "exopolitics" (aliens/ufos) conference. So I seriously doubt it came from the film-makers or New Video who holds the copyright, at least here in the U.S.

In my book, IP theft is a crime. Admittedly, it's getting hard to know EXACTLY which YouTube etc videos are in the public domain and which are not.
This film however is a COMMERCIAL film and clearly should not be on YouTube or Google Videos.
