Collapse

The people of Hood River were among some of the first to screen the new film Collapse by Chris Smith. Documenting the thoughts of Michael Ruppert on the current economic crisis as it relates to peak oil production and the ponzi pyramid scheme that defines the American economy. Ruppert speaks of an impending collapse as our society comes into direct conflict with the planet's limited energy resources.

It is the most shocking and captivating film I have seen in quite some time, possibly of all time.An Inconvenient Truth was powerful. However as one critic put it- "right or wrong, prophecy or paranoia-(the film) takes up residence in your mind."

The trailer has a distinct Armageddon feel. There is however a powerful message of hope in the end. I urge everyone to ask for a screening of this film in their home town.
