Last Call at the Oasis

It's one of the best in a recent array of cinematic docs looking at such hot topics as oil, water, food production, climate change, the economy and telling us, as scientist Jay Famiglietti so succinctly puts it in Yu's film, "We're screwed."

Be assured, this thorough doc with its gorgeous opening sequence will sear a central message into your brain: think before you drink.

"Last Call at the Oasis" represents nonfiction filmmaking at its most urgent, timely and stylistically smooth.

Yu's highly important film is a wake up call, and it does so with deafening facts and striking focus.
