The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil
These two inspiring films focus on local food, from the lives of traditional tuna fishers in Southern Sardinia to a Cuban story of agricultural innovation in the face of an oil crisis.

Daniele Atzeni's The Legend of the Holy Fisherman (18 mins, Italy, 2005) spotlights San Pietro Island where tuna fishing has been practiced for hundreds of years according to an ancient ritual.

Faith Morgan's The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil (53 mins, USA, 2006) tells the fascinating story of how Cuba turned to organic farming and urban agriculture after a collapse in its supply of cheap oil from the Soviet Union.
