I saw the 11th hour last night, and was prepared to be scared. But, the film had the 'scary message' only for the first half of the film, and then gave us a foundation for hope and actual examples of a sustainable future. The film was presented in the form of 'sensationalist vignette'-(similar to a major news broadcast) mixed with interviews by dozens of recognized experts.

The new messages I gleaned from film is that:
1)We are living on 'dead energy' -fossil fuels- a form of solar energy that was created and stored from past milleniums.
2) We are addicted to consuming this dead energy because we are no longer connected to the earth - we travel at speeds that are unnatural, we live and work in artificial light, and we have no idea where are food and clothing come from. -there is little, if no connection to nature's rhythms. We are looking for a reconnectedness, and the media and corporations are more than happy to supply a substitute of consumption- sugar, alcohol, tobacco, luxury, etc.
3) Being at the top of the food chain, we are huge impact on the planet's ecosystem, and that the world we live in, is actually a reflection of what is inside us.

Are we at the 11th hour? or is it 11:59?
