Pandora’s Promise

I honestly can’t say why I started watching this film but I’m fairly certain it started as an attempt to fall asleep late at night. I’m also pretty sure I was initially under the assumption that it had something to do with the deteriorating quality of music coming from Pandora music app…

In terms of movies to fall asleep to, I don’t think I could have made a worse choice but not for the reason you might think. Unlike a lot of the documentaries on Netflix that seem to have been created for the sole purpose of inducing some combination of guilt, paranoia and/or anger, Pandora’s Promise was just straight up interesting.

Keep in mind that this is coming from a guy that thought he was watching a documentary on a music app in an effort to fall asleep. In all likelihood, the decision was a coin toss between this and the 80′s version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the coin landed too far from the couch and I chose Pandora’s Promise because it was on the screen.

Of course, I would recommend doing your own research before developing any firm opinions on the topic of “clean” energy. At the very least watch a few additional documentaries that provide opposing arguments (probably not as effective and may lead to feelings of guilt, paranoia and/or anger) but either way, I would definitely recommend taking the time to check this particular film out. Very interesting.
