END:CIV - Resist or Die - WWW.ENDCIV.COM

http://endciv.com
END:CIV examines our culture's addiction to systematic violence and environmental exploitation, and probes the resulting epidemic of poisoned landscapes and shell-shocked nations. Based in part on Endgame, the best-selling book by Derrick Jensen, END:CIV asks: "If your homeland was invaded by aliens who cut down the forests, poisoned the water and air, and contaminated the food supply, would you resist?"

The causes underlying the collapse of civilizations are usually traced to overuse of resources. As we write this, the world is reeling from economic chaos, peak oil, climate change, environmental degradation, and political turmoil. Every day, the headlines re-hash stories of scandal and betrayal of the public trust. We don't have to make outraged demands for the end of the current global system — it seems to be coming apart already.

But acts of courage, compassion and altruism abound, even in the most damaged places. By documenting the resilience of the people hit hardest by war and repression, and the heroism of those coming forward to confront the crisis head-on, END:CIV illuminates a way out of this all-consuming madness and into a saner future.

Backed by Jensen's narrative, the film calls on us to act as if we truly love this land. The film trips along at a brisk pace, using music, archival footage, motion graphics, animation, slapstick and satire to deconstruct the global economic system, even as it implodes around us. END:CIV illustrates first-person stories of sacrifice and heroism with intense, emotionally-charged images that match Jensen's poetic and intuitive approach. Scenes shot in the back country provide interludes of breathtaking natural beauty alongside clearcut evidence of horrific but commonplace destruction.

END:CIV features interviews with Paul Watson, Waziyatawin, Gord Hill, Michael Becker, Peter Gelderloos, Lierre Keith, James Howard Kunstler, Stephanie McMillan, Qwatsinas, Rod Coronado, John Zerzan and more.

Why is this not closed captioned? I am profoundly Deaf and personally would like to be educated about this documentary. Please add captioning. Deaf individuals are not inferior, nor are we inept. In order for us to be educated and spread the word what we've learned, it has to be Captioned. Originally I was going to donate, but after seeing this, I cannot donate nor support any action until we can watch the documentary like everyone else.

the TTAs have almost depleted the worlds fish, there is evidence that seals are underweight and gulls are eating rubbish, things have almost reached no return. Things will not get better until the corporations and those that own them are out of business.

Tesla tech arrays are all over the world, they are owned by the elite and are used against countries that are standing against them in a particular way. There is proof that the ttas are being used, it has been seen on satelite and radar and the subsequent storms, earthquakes and resulting fish kill or bird kill will turn up shorly after, See yt channel Revmichellehopkins she has proof of this. There is so much armoury that the elite has and they want us gone, dead, them in control

In a handful of decades, AlternateArtisan, I don't think people will have a choice. And the higher civilization is built, the harder it will fall, with most people trapped inside as in a tower.

[AlternateArtisan]

you present very little options for the future. It's either a new world order or No world order. and I don't think many people are keen to watch everything collapse into total chaos

[AlternateArtisan]

individually humans are smart and empathetic, but collectively humans are just another stupid animal incapable of recognising threats until it's right up in their faces.
