BLIND SPOT (2008)
-----------------------------
subtitle: What if all of the expectations you have about the future are completely wrong?
Blind Spot won official selections at both the Woodstock and London Independent film festivals.
Reviews:
"Blind Spot is a fascinating documentary, it draws on some of the most impressive scientific minds to warn us about the dangers of our dependence on oil and educate us about our role in saving the earth and the lives of our children. I was transfixed by it."
Howard Zinn, US writer and historian
”Beautiful, crucial, straightforward, brilliantly woven images, words and music.”
John Stauber, author of “Toxic Sludge Is Good for You”
“Blind Spot rides currents of beauty and sadness, ultimately landing with a catharsis that comes when truth has been told.”
Jason Bradford, founder of Willits Economic Localization
“The next few decades aren’t going to look like the last few-not at all. And the sooner we come to terms with that, the better. This documentary is a good place to start.”
Bill McKibben, author of “The End of Nature”
