How to Boil a Frog

Synopsis: Described as an "eco-comedy", the message of HOW TO BOIL A FROG is, in fact, deadly serious. The film is about "overshoot" - too many people, using up too few resources, too quickly. Featuring contributions from ecologists, journalists and energy experts, and using CGI animation and comedy to get its points across, the film explains why peak oil, the global economic crisis, global warming and overpopulation are symptoms of a much larger problem and then suggests what we can do about it.
