Taking as its starting point the inevitable energy depletion scenario known as "Peak Oil," the film surveys a fascinating range of the latest intellectual, political, and scientific thought to make the case that by whatever means of greed, wishful thinking, neglect, or ignorance, we now find ourselves at a disturbing crossroads: we can continue to burn fossil fuels and witness the collapse of our ecology, or we can choose not to and witness the collapse of our economy." -- Container. 1 videodisc (54 min.)

Dal puri diaspora 2012

The recipe for dal puri traveled with indentured workers from India's Gangetic plain to southern Caribbean colonies in the 19th Century.

Shot in Toronto, Trinidad and India, this documentary tracks dal puri's remarkable passage across space and time, linking colonialism, migration and the globalization of tastes.

The forgotten space The sea is forgotten until disaster strikes.
