Road Rage

Bomb it

Here’s a documentary about bicycle messengers in Dublin. As it was made for TG4, most of the couriers speak Irish/Gaelic, which adds a nice local colour to it all. Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.

The trailer for Escape from Suburbia, the sequel to the documentary The End Of Suburbia is now online.

Are today’s suburbs destined to become the slums of the future? Watch the end of suburbia, a very interesting documentary on peak oil which is now viewable for free online.

An inconvenient truth

Rating: 9

The climate is changing radically, affecting our future, and we are the cause. This is no longer debatable: the film shows how 100% of peer-reviewed academic papers support this fact while 53% of mainstream media stories express doubt, lobbies are powerful things. Al Gore puts the scientific facts into an eloquent, entertaining and clearly understandable narrative without ever getting overtly alarmist or bleak. According to Gore, we have 10 years to turn things around. In that case, this film should be mandatory viewing, especially if you have children. Hopefully, it won't just be preaching to the converted; if you're a doubter or have a friend who is, I dare you to see this and come out unaffected. [link]
