Collapse

I recently watched the documentary titled Collapse, directed by Chris Smith (American Movie). The film is largely set around an interview with former LAPD officer and investigative journalist Michael Rupport. Over the course of 80 minutes Rupport leads us back to the future, examining the known information dating back to the 1970s which has helped him predict most of the biggest swings in policy and economics in the past 30 years. Most recently, Rupport was harassed in 2005 for lecturing on an upcoming housing crises and his uncovering of the Pat Tillman killed by friendly fire cover-up. Topic by topic, Rupport matter-of-factly predicts a future in a world of limited resources and a growing population and archaic economic policy (capitalism) that leaves us little option but to face the bull by the horns. He says we have 50 years if we're lucky. This film is definitely worth checking out, as these topics touch every living thing, including our planet.
