Jesus Camp DVD
*NEW IN SEPTEMBER*

Big cover!

A documentary that gives a fascinating insight into the roots of Christian fundamentalism in the USA:
A growing number of evangelical Christians believe there is a revival underway in America that requires Christian youth to assume leadership roles in advocating the causes of their religious movement.

The film follows these children at camp as they hone their “prophetic gifts” and are schooled in how to “take back America for Christ”. The highly praised documentary is a first-ever look into an intense training ground that recruits born-again Christian children to become an active part of America's political future.

Crude Awakening DVD
*NEW IN APRIL*

Big cover!

A documentary that warns that the age of abundant oil is over. Taking a similar line to Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, the premise behind this documentary is that we're all drinking in the last chance saloon. Featuring testimonies from the world's top experts, the film reaches an ominous yet logical conclusion — the Earth's oil supplies are peaking and a crisis of global proportions looms. Even more alarmingly, industrial societies don't have any plans on how to deal with the shortage, threatening the future of our post-industrial fossil fuel-addicted civilization with disaster. Unless western society re-invents its relation to energy needs, economic meltdown is inevitable.
