It sertainly do is our problem. Where do you live? How much of the food that you eat is imported from other countries in the world? Things are connected with global capitalism. Its blind to think that you live on a selfsustaining island. There are few people in the modern world who do.

Oil = Food so unless you are very wealthy, start learning to grow your own...

@withDefiance Careful with what you say about "people". "A person" can decide for themselves, but "people" is a different creature, one that's not smart, moves very slowly, is panicky, very greedy and generally can't decide for itself.

Thank you for this wonderfully informative and thought-provoking film.

Capitalism doesn't have any Problems, it is the Problem...

It's just a more skillful model than good old Feudalism to provide power & abilities for exploitation to a few.

Every good Capitalist knows, that as long a certain livingstandard among the middle class can be maintained, they will be able to control the masses.

The masses aren't truely globalizers! they will never unite up to the critical point & if so,give them conspiracy ideas or radicalised Religions or ideologies...keep 'em busy!

@withDefiance Capitalism? LOL

@VikingHunter82 there is nothing inherently wrong with either Capitalism or Socialism. Do not confuse democratic with authoritarian regimes.

"transition to a new low-energy future"

Getting off oil and tilling soil by hand is not "low-energy". Not everything here is incorrect, but I'd say this film is misleading, and appeals to those who have little or no experience in the farming industry.

A truly inspirational and useful documentary. Why are our governments so stupid? Why do they ignore talking about all this stuff and just carry on with their heads stuck in the troughs of the current monetary system leading us nowhere???

this should be shown in schools and used as a model for all of us to live by..
