MOVIE REVIEW OF ...
Anima Mundi
Documentary; Released: 2011
Anima Mundi explores the systemic crisis we face—we know the system is broken and will eventually fail, but we are so depended on it, we cannot get rid of it. Meanwhile, the planet's life support systems are changing in a way that will not be good for humans (and many other species).
The film lays the blame for the ecological crisis on the "scientist worldview"—common among technologists, industrialists, politicians and consumers in the Western world—which treats the world as something to exploit and dominate rather than something to integrate with.
The film asks the viewer: Will you survive the transition of human industrial civilization happening now due to peak oil and climate change? Can you see the forest for the trees, the earth for the dream, the universe for the seed?
Anima Mundi uses the Gaia hypotheses to inform the best response to the crisis—that we need to move from today's tightly integrated, centrally controlled system to a highly distributed network of loosely connected systems based on local production and control. That's good advice, and Anima Mundi presents the case well. Interviewees include top thinkers like Vandana Shiva, Michael Ruppert, and David Holmgren.

Unwelcome Guests
Deep Green Resistance and the "Earth At Risk" Conference —
04 May 2013 —
The environmental movement has become trapped in a system of laws and regulations that is of, for, and by corporations and their wealthy elite owners. Environmental iconoclasts Thomas Linzey, Derrick Jensen, and Aric McBay explain how true environmental progress will only come when we disempower corporations and level the legal playing between elites and the rest of us. They review a number of examples of how municipalities are doing just that.
