Synopsis by Nathan Southern
This disturbing, by-the-throat documentary defines something it refers to as 'The Titanic Syndrome' - the notion that the planet Earth, in the very same vein as the titular ocean liner, is sailing toward global catastrophe with the human population as its "passengers." The program pays particularly strong attention to the deterioration of the biosphere - the product, it argues, of a cracked social order that forces the weakest to bear the brunt of its nasty consequences.
