Documentary, Environment Saturday, Oct. 6, 5:00 p.m., McConnell Auditorium The award-winning documentary tells the story of how our addiction to oil has put us on a collision course with geology. Compelling, intelligent, and highly entertaining, the film visits with an international cast of maverick energy experts and thinkers and comes to a startling, but logical conclusion: Our industrial society, built on cheap and readily available oil, must be completely re-imagined and overhauled.
