I am so disappointed in not hearing one iota on this new documentary from DU members [View all]

I am astounded that no one has posted about this movie..

Last Saturday I saw this movie. Revolution . It is a documentary about our Earth.

Did you know the Canadian tar sands cover the area as big as England and Wales ?
Did you know Canada is the worst polluter in the world because of the tar sands?

Did you know that the oceans are dying and that we could have no sea life in 20 - 30 years?

I thought this movie so profound that I hope to to take all my friends it.
It should be shown in ALL schools..

It is beautifully filmed. Such beauty in our oceans and land and we are destroying it.

There will be no politics if we are all dead or dying.
