Collapse – A Documentary by Chris Smith

January 17, 2010 by Greg Gerke

It’s HERE at Videofeed. Just released, it’s a look at Michael Ruppert and how this former LA police officer has made it his business to know what exactly is going on in the world. Chris Smith (who was a film teacher of mine at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and made American Movie) shows Ruppert detailing the energy crisis, the oil crisis, the money crisis and general collapse scenarios in simple terms. But Smith also asks pointed questions of his subject, as in, What makes you an authority?

I’m not a doomsdayer but I respect straight talk and this is what Ruppert provides. Smith continues to probe and the result is fascinating.

I’m going to watch it now. Smith’s last feature, The Pool, was one of my favorites of 08.

  I will look for The Pool, missed that one. You might like American Movie, it’s about the Midwest really, and this laughable, pitiable figure. And yours truly is in it, albeit for a second.
