 Benney\n\nHere is an engaging, and entertaining documentary telling of the 
 converging problems brought about by the fossil fuel era — from the 
 population spikes that oil’s largesse has spawned to the fouling of air 
 and water, all leading to the inevitable downfall of the modern way of life 
 that must arise from the finite nature of oil and other fossil fuels.  And 
 so, because of the seriousness of the subject, it is also a deep 
 documentary investigating how global crises like ecological disaster, 
 financial meltdown, dwindling oil reserves, terrorism, and food shortages 
 are converging symptoms of a single, failed global system.  Weaving 
 together archival film footage and animations, film-maker Dean Puckett, 
 animator Lucca Benney, and international security analyst Dr. Nafeez 
 Mosaddeq Ahmed, offer a stunning wake-up call proving that “another 
 world” is not merely possible but on its way.  The film reveals how a 
 failure to understand the systemic context of these crises, linked to 
 neoliberal ideology, has generated a tendency to deal not with their root 
 structural causes, but only with their symptoms.  This has led to the 
 proliferation of war, terror, and state-terror, including encroachment on 
 civil liberties, while accelerating global crises rather than solving 
 them.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th
