Oil, Smoke & Mirrors (2007)

"Oil Smoke & Mirrors" offers us a sobering critique of our perceived recent history, of our present global circumstances, and of our shared future in light of imminent, under-reported, and misrepresented energy production constraints. From 9/11 to the "war on terror", credible experts explain the possible motive behind these recent events in the context of a global fight for the last remaining reserves of oil. 

Featuring Richard Heinberg, Colin Campbell, Michael Meacher MP, Julian Darley, Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, Philip J.Berg, Webster G. Tarpley, Andreas Von Beulow, David Shayler, Christopher Bollyn, Paul Roberts.

Running time is 50mins, with 60 minutes extra interview material.
