Sleepwalking

A financier loses his family and finds his pistol. The daughter of an abusive father runs away to make her way on the streets. A disillusioned cop decides the current system is broken. An Australian farmer looks over the parched land and wonders if his family will endure where previous generations have.

A group of anti-Capitalists meet as the invasion of Iraq begins and plan to establish an Islamic State and ensuring its' survival by using attack as the best form of defence. Plans evolve as the Islamic Caliphate fails.

Geologically speaking, climate change is NOT a slow moving train wreck. It is also an accelerating effect with a significant lag component. Climate change will not be a photogenic event.
