As food prices soar\, salmonella stalks the supermarket\, and fresh and local claim their place at the table\, city dwellers are getting back to the land by opening their back doors. With visions of Victory Gardens and sugar snap peas in their heads\, urbanites are rediscovering how to turn their lawns and landscapes into larders.

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.
