ENDCIV (2011)

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 rehash stories of scandal and betrayal of the public trust We dont 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 headon ENDCIV illuminates a way out of this allconsuming madness and into a saner future Backed by Jensens 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 Written by Franklin Lopez
