About this book

Mine collapses, oil spills and food-borne outbreaks now appear in the news so often that they can start to feel ordinary. Robin L. Murray and Joseph K. Heumann look at how such ecological crises expose the strain between what people need and the damage those needs cause to the environment.

The book concentrates on contemporary documentaries and fiction films that show human conflict with the environment. Its concern is with what these works reveal about overconsumption and about a society that still leans heavily on non-renewable energy.

Readers of film studies and of environmental media will find the book a sharp guide to the way cinema frames everyday disaster, and to the questions that such framing leaves open.
