As our ecological demise continues to accelerate, some desperate artists and activists look to earlier resistance movements for guidance and inspiration. The following segment from END:CIV entitled "Fuck Patience" illustrates their reasoning and goals.

"END:CIV is a film that examines our culture’s addiction to systematic violence and environmental exploitation, and probes the resulting epidemic of poisoned landscapes and shell-shocked nations. Based in part on Endgame, the best-selling book by Derrick Jensen, END:CIV asks: "If your homeland was invaded by aliens who cut down the forests, poisoned the water and air, and contaminated the food supply, would you resist?" END:CIV is currently in production." Visit their website here. For more work in this radical vein, see also submedia.tv.

Hawken: "Globalization’s depredations have had a nearly 500-year head start on humanity’s immune system. The exponential assault on resources and the production of waste, coupled with the extirpation of cultures and the exploitation of workers, is a disease as surely as hepatitis or cancer... In essence, the environmental movement can be seen as humanity’s response to contagious policies killing the earth, while the social justice movement addresses economic and legislated pathogens that destroy families, bodies, cultures and communities.” And the greatest pathogens of all are the corporate Big Bodies.
