简介：过去的几年当中，石油价格翻了三番，为什么会这样？这其中会不会有某种掩盖真相的阴谋？有的人说美元的贬值导致了油价上涨；也有人说投机商囤积居奇，在背后左右着石油价格。现在，另一种声音正在日益壮大：供给关系的变化在驱动着石油价格的飞涨。这些人认为，随着石油的供给量的减少、开采新油田的成本的上升，世界将要面临更加严重的石油紧缺和油价上涨。影片Oil Apocalypse Now?，将试图从各种传闻当中抽抽丝剥茧，找到真相。 　　该片历时4年，取景13个国家和地区，选编了30多位在国际石油市场或者政治舞台上有影响力的任务的访谈内容，受访者从各自的观点出发力图为观众揭示未来世界石油供给的前景。 　　Shot in 13 countries over a four-year period, Oil Apocalypse Now? reveals the myths and conspiracy theories surrounding the future of our world's oil supplies. It includes interviews with over 30 of the most influential people on both sides of the argument to examine if the oil age is coming to an end. 　　Is there a conspiracy of silence to keep the truth from us? In the last four years world oil prices have tripled. Why? One school of thought blames the weak U.S. dollar. Others say commodity speculators are behind the rocketing oil prices. There is a third voice growing in strength that points to another reason - supply and demand are driving prices up. As supplies diminish and production becomes more expensive, the world faces even higher prices and perhaps the collapse of global production. Then there's talk of missing OPEC barrels. Oil Apocalypse Now? tries to separate the facts from fiction. 　　Everyone agrees that if oil production is going to increase it will have to come from the group of 13 oil producing countries known as OPEC. But can OPEC really do it? We meet the men in power and find out that all may not be as it seems. Travelling to Kuwait the documentary team uncovers exclusive evidence that world oil reserves may be exaggerated by up to 50%. 　　But fears about our oil supplies aren't limited to missing OPEC barrels. Travelling to the U.S. Oil Apocalypse Now? examines arguments from The Association for the Study of Peak Oil, a group of industry insiders who've been warning of a coming Oil apocalypse for over 30 years. Through fascinating archives, viewers are able to look back at the oil shocks from the 1970's, when prices shot up but then fell back again. Is this time any different? What are the implications if oil prices continue to increase? What are we doing about it and what are the alternatives to our heavy dependence on oil?…
