What a Way To Go looks head on at our present global predicament, as peaking oil production, climate change, species extinction, and population overshoot converge in a perfect storm of cataclysmic dimensions. The information presented is not a fuzzy doomsday prophecy but rather a strong fact-based assessment that will leave the viewer awestruck.
The film explores the cultural stories and assumptions that have brought us to this point, and provides a larger context for thinking about, and feeling our way through, our global situation. The film does not propose any quick painless fixes for our global situation -- no "five things you can do to save the world." Instead, filmmakers Tim Bennet and Sally Erickson offer up a heartfelt challenge to face difficult times with courage and integrity.
Features interviews with noted authors Daniel Quinn, Derrick Jensen, Jerry Mander, Richard Heinberg, William Catton, Chellis Glendinning, Thomas Berry, and Ran Prieur; and scientists William Schlesinger, Stuart Pimm, Douglas Crawford-Brown, and Gerald Cecil.
"If what Gore offered was an 'Inconvenient Truth', What a Way To Go gives us the Whole Truth". --Dan Armstrong, Prairie Fire
"Nothing less than a 123-minute CAT scan of the planet and its twenty-first century human and non-human condition." --Carolyn Baker, CarolynBaker.net
