Premiere for "Somewhere In New Mexico Before The End Of Time"

On May 4, 2013 the film premiered at the University of Arizona. Guy McPherson had a Q&A immediately after the film.


Mike Sosebee’s notes for the DVD:

Let me start with saying thanks for supporting our film. There had been a lot of stops and starts based on other commitments (by all parties involved) and there was a time a while back that I was completely out of money to pay my own bills so funding a film about “the end of the world as we know it” seemed a tad redundant.

However in December of 2012 an anonymous source funded the final production and printing of this documentary film. Thank-you mystery person.

The story is primarily about Guy McPherson, Professor Emeritus, University of Arizona, who walked away from a tenured academic post to a permaculture settlement in New Mexico as a formal protest against “Industrial Civilization.” His “dire” messages from his academic post has been met with denial, obfuscation and he was largely marginalized.

Guy’s message over the years has become focused on the notion of NTE (near term extinction) based on increasingly pessimistic climate models and a growing biodiversity crisis.

If we are losing on the order of 200 species per day how many species can we lose before the survival of our own species is in jeopardy?

The question is now posed to the viewer: What do we do collectively and individually to confront our imminent oblivion?






Here is a preview -

Somewhere In New Mexico Before The End Of Time

With twin threats of Peak Oil and Climate Change staring industrial civilization in the eye, Dr. Guy McPherson, Professor Emeritus from the University of Arizona, demonstrates his thesis of durable living and what power-down actually means.
