THE GREAT SQUEEZE

"It is a great piece of work. I give it 5 stars."
Lester Brown - founder of the Worldwatch Institute and president of the Earth Policy Institute

The Great Squeeze” comes down solidly on the side not only of the truth of global warming but of the existing crisis of the environment on many fronts, and it does so in a remarkably anthropological way. (read more) 
Eller, Jack David - Anthropology Review Database

"The Great Squeeze is a remarkable film, visually evocative, intellectually stimulating, emotionally engaging. It brings our current crises to life at the same time highlighting a path to a better future. I highly recommend it."
Riane Eisler - Sociologist & Best-selling author

"Individual happiness has not increased along with our wealth and waste, with business as usual leading down the road to advanced environmental collapse. The public performance versions offer a bonus short film and extended interviews with additional experts. This film is an articulate reminder of the urgent need to mandate lifestyle changes to try to save ourselves. Both DVDs are recommended for general audiences interested in environmental and energy issues."
David R. Conn, Surrey - Library Journal

“The film provides a worthwhile summary of the key challenges and the links between them.”
Carol Smith - United Nations University

“Sure to help strengthen awareness of an escalating situation, this is recommended ”
J. Wadland, Video Librarian Magazine - (July-August 2009)

"Largely due to its impressive array of intellectual muscle, the film presents its points in a very balanced and scientific way … Well worth a watch." 
Kristin Sponsler - Energy Bulletin 

"While many viewers would be fascinated with the scientific research of the film, I was fascinated with their psychology, that is, questions of how it is that humanity has arrived at this place in its history." (read more) 
Carolyn Baker - Speaking Truth to Power

"...the film does a great job of crystallizing this message, explaining exactly what we've been doing wrong and how it's affected the planet ...

"The value and candor of this documentary cannot be understated. 
Highly recommended ."
Michael J. Coffta, Business Librarian, Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania

"The better documentaries are expressions of some epiphany by the filmmaker - a Big Deal urgently needing to be conveyed to a larger audience. All too often that central idea is only half-glimpsed. The Great Squeeze comes to us wholly formed. The issues it presents are systemic and existential. They are core to our human self-concept. And yet, what the film is telling us is both unfamiliar and unwelcome. That all of this is carried through cinematically, leaving us still a glimmer of hope at the end, is profound. You will walk away changed."
