END: CIV
examines our culture's addiction to systematic violence and environmental
exploitation, and probes the resulting epidemic of poisoned landscapes and
shell-shocked nations.
Based in part
on Endgame, the best-selling book by Derrick Jensen, END: CIV asks: If your
homeland was invaded by aliens who cut down the forests, poisoned the water and
air, and contaminated the food supply, would you resist?
Backed by
Jensen's narrative, the film calls on us to act as if we truly love this land.
The film trips along at a brisk pace, using music, archival footage, motion
graphics, animation, slapstick and satire to deconstruct the global economic
system, even as it implodes around us.
END: CIV
illustrates first-person stories of sacrifice and heroism with intense,
emotionally-charged images that match Jensen's poetic and intuitive approach.
Scenes shot in the back country provide interludes of breathtaking natural
beauty alongside clearcut evidence of horrific but commonplace destruction.
