OilCrash\, produced and directed by award-winning European journalists and filmmakers Basil Gelpke and Ray McCormack\, tells the story of how our civilization’s addiction to oil puts it on a collision course with geology. Compelling\, intelligent\, and highly entertaining\, the film visits with the world’s top experts and comes to a startling\, but logical conclusion – our industrial society\, built on cheap and readily available oil\, must be completely re-imagined and overhauled.
