Naomi Klein – Fault Lines – In Deep Water: A Way of Life in Peril – Documentary BP Gulf Oil Spill
Posted: June 20th, 2010 by: h2
There’s a recently released 23 min. documentary, Fault Lines – In Deep Water: A Way of Life in Peril . Naomi Klein visited the Gulf coast with a film-crew from Fault Lines, a documentary program hosted by Avi Lewis on al-Jazeera English Television. She was a consultant on the film.
There’s also a Naomi Klein article, Gulf oil spill: A hole in the world that’s probably worth a quick read as well.
This Gulf coast crisis is about many things – corruption, deregulation, the addiction to fossil fuels. But underneath it all, it’s about this: our culture’s excruciatingly dangerous claim to have such complete understanding and command over nature that we can radically manipulate and re-engineer it with minimal risk to the natural systems that sustain us. But as the BP disaster has revealed, nature is always more unpredictable than the most sophisticated mathematical and geological models imagine.
