A Crude Awakening is an intelligent, entertaining and downright frightening dissection of we stern civilisation's addiction to oil and the consequences of its dwindling supply. Award-winning European journalists and filmmakers Basil Gelpke and Ray McCormack visit the world's top experts and come to the startling, but logical conclusion – our industrial society, built on cheap and readily available oil, must be completely re-imagined and overhauled. The reluctance to face up to the facts predicts an inevitable and disastrous 'Oil Crash' that could be in the very near future.
