This documentary is a fascinating look at new research that shows the negative impact of prolonged stress. Why are we showing it at a radical bookstore? The film points out the connections between chronic stress and disempowering\, authoritarian social relationships\, and urges changing those relationships throughout our institutions as a proactive public health measure. Plus\, cool stories about baboons. Pretty intense.

But few are informed or empowered enough to do much about it. Enter Josh Tickell\, an expert young activist who\, driven by his own emotionally charged motives\, shuttles us on a revelatory\, whirlwind journey to unravel this addiction—from its historical origins to political constructs that support it\, to alternatives available now and the steps we can take to change things. Tickell tracks the rising domination of the petrochemical industry—from Rockefeller’s strategy to halt ethanol use in Ford’s first cars to the mysterious death of Rudolph Diesel at the height of his biodiesel engine’s popularization\, to our government’s choice to declare war after 9/11\, rather than wean the country from fossil fuel.
