END:CIV Film + DiscussionThu Feb 2 2012If your homeland was invaded by aliens who cut down the forests and contaminated the food supply, would you resist? If creatures from outer space made the water so poisonous you wouldn't dream of drinking it, would you try to stop them? If monsters released toxic chemicals that caused cancer in the people you love, would you fight back?These aren't idle questions. It's happening now – except there are no aliens. The culture that's cradled us since birth is a killer. END:CIV is the first feature film to analyze our culture’s addiction to systemic violence, industrial capitalism and environmental exploitation, as evidenced by the current epidemic of poisoned landscapes and shell-shocked nations.
It is based on the best-selling book by Derrick Jensen Endgame and directed by Franklin López of subMedia.tv. After attending over 100 screenings in America, Mexico and Canada, Franklin Lópezs is touring Australia and will be at The Red Rattler on February 2nd.
END:CIV illustrates the brutality of a civilization addicted to systematic violence and environmental destruction, and the heroism of thosewho confront it head-on. Doors Open 6:30pm $10 on door no presales
