If you've never wondered what's very likely to happen when the world's oil supplies run out - unless we're lucky enough to have (this very minute!) large numbers of very smart girls and boys in all the right places, developing alternative energy solutions and putting adequate distribution channels in place - then this show will soon put that right... and make you feel very sick, in the process!

I watched this on my birthday. Already, I was in one of those brooding moods, where you wonder what it's all been for and what's still left to do, and whether anyone can possibly kid you into thinking the future will be worth the effort - now, at 46, that you know just how much they've all been pulling the wool down over your eyes (from politicians and teachers, right down to your parents and many of your peers) and how you helped let it happen!

"Aftermath: World Without Oil" is, definitely, not a feel-good experience! Nevertheless, I would ask that this be made mandatory viewing at schools, throughout the industrialized world. Every kid should be made to watch this, 3 or 4 times, along with Monty Python's Life of Brian. Put all kids on a staple diet of truth and humor and, in just a few generations, we could have a future that is actually worth living!

Cheers!

This "documentary" is laden in half-truths, unlikely events and ridiculous stupidity. Every single bit of information is either greatly exaggerated or pure speculation. It claims to tell the story of what will happen after our oil reserves run out but is really a sensationalist piece of speculative fiction not in any way based in reality. The only real part of this "documentary" are the statistics about current oil usage. Please, whatever you do, do not watch this. And if you do decide to watch it, please put more thought into it than the - not particularly bright - makers. You did it again National Geographic, you produced another "documentary" entirely based on fiction.
