The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil DVD

The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil DVD
In the current global credit crisis Cuba can be a shining light, as it has existed without access to credit, due to the US-led and enforced embargo, for the past 50 years.

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Cuba experienced a major economic depression. With imports of oil cut by more than one-half and food imports by 80 percent, people were desperate for food. This film tells of the hardships and struggles as well as the community and creativity of the Cuban people. Cubans share how they transitioned from highly mechanised agriculture to organic farming and urban gardens, and from an industrial country to a sustainable one. The film opens with a short explanation of Peak Oil, the imminent crisis caused by the all-time peak in world oil production.

That Cuba faced and overcame these dual crises shows a possibility for the rest of the world, particularly with the current economic crisis paralysing markets worldwide.
