A powerful combination of archival footage, personal journey, scientific fact and disturbingly recent propaganda films, Out of Balance
shows us the influence that the largest company in the world has on
governments, the media and citizens. Along the way, scientists and
activists alike suggest ways to combat global warming.
While the Earth’s climate is pushed further out of balance by
increasing use of fossil fuels, ExxonMobil continues to assert undue
influence around the world - making record profits while ignoring
climate science for which there has been overwhelming consensus for
over ten years. Out of Balance
does not just critique ExxonMobil, it also offers challenging,
large-scale ideas for the global social changes that must take place if
there’s any chance of leaving a livable planet for future generations.
