A Life Without Oil

The Middle East crisis and the resulting blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has caused supply disruptions for the globe, which can potentially lead to catastrophic consequences for modern civilization. The global economy, agriculture, energy production, and transportation infrastructure rely heavily on oil products such as petrol, diesel and liquified natural gas.

So, is life without oil possible?

A 4-part human interest series tries to answer this question as the filmmakers traverse Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, and Philippines to meet communities, governments and entrepreneurs building the future of human civilization with renewable energies like solar, biogas, organic fertilizers, and electric vehicles. We understand if this quiet transformation across Asia is sustainable and if life without oil can one day become a reality.
