Title: One slight problem, or perhaps two
Product review: There are two problems with this documentary, or perhaps it is one problem, with two parts. Part A is that at the time this film was made anyone who made any kind of an objective and reasonably thorough investigation would have known that the world was in factswimming in oil. Part B is that since the film was made it is no longer required that one make any investigation. The news of the vastamount of oil all over the place, particularly here in North America, is shouted at us from every media outlet. Kindergartners are nowprobably quite aware of the Black Gold boom in North Dakota. None of this should hurt the film though, despite the fact that the wholething is not merely predicated on the fantasy that there is a looming oil shortage, but about that shortage. People who want to believe that there is a coming oil shortage will keep on believing that, regardless of the overwhelming evidence that it is not true.
