    An unforgettable and shocking wake-up call, A CRUDE AWAKENING offers the rock-solid argument that the era of cheap oil is in the past. Relentless and clear-eyed, this intensively-researched film drills deep into the uncomfortable realities of a world that is both addicted to fossil fuels and blissfully unaware of the looming "peak oil" crisis.

    Our Take:

    As the expert talking heads calmly explain in this hair-raising doc, we’re about to reach peak production of oil, and that’s a potentially catastrophic event horizon. Think no air travel, for starters. Then mass starvation. Endless war for limited resources. And so on. Everyone knows it. So why doesn’t anyone have a plan? Consider this a wake-up call.

    Filmed without permission in eight countries, this sensitive documentary captures the lives of gay and lesbian Muslims throughout the world.

    Most people have heard of the voting irregularities that marred the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004.

    Steven Skrovan

    As quietly provocative as its thoughtful protagonist, Steve Skrovan and Henriette Mantel's galvanizing documentary, AN UNREASONABLE MAN, examines how one of the 20th century's most admired and indefatigable social activists, Ralph Nader, became a pariah among the same progressive circles he helped champion.

    Our Take:

    Ralph Nader got tarnished as a “spoiler” in the 2000 presidential election. But many have forgotten his triumphant history as a tenacious public advocate, active since the 1960s. Is he a megalomaniac, as his enemies maintain, or a man utterly committed to principle above all else? Nader’s contradictions emerge in this fascinating docu-portrait.
