Unlike most films about peak oil, this one is mostly about solutions.

It's about the Cuban response to their own oil crisis, which happened in the early 90s when the Soviet Union collapsed and Cuba lost most of its oil supply. This is a particularly excellent film to show to people who may be put off or frightened by the usual kind of peak oil material that explains the problem well, but does not offer much in the way of possible solutions.

Everyone who is concerned about Peak Oil needs to see this film. Cuba survived an energy famine during the 1990s, and how it did so constitutes one of the most important and hopeful stories of the past few decades. It is a story not just of individual achievement, but of the collective mobilization of an entire society to meet an enormous challenge. Lest the point be missed, I will underscore it: this particular challenge – the problem of energy scarcity is one we will all be facing very soon.
