47:59Now PlayingThe Strait of Hormuz is blocked. Oil prices are surging. And for the third time in 50 years, the world is asking the same question: Why do we still depend on this?
In 1973, an oil embargo reshaped the global economy overnight. In 2022, Russia's gas cutoff sent Europe scrambling. Now in 2026, a single strait is holding 20% of the world's oil hostage — and history is repeating itself.
This documentary traces how energy built the modern world — and why oil's grip on it is starting to slip. We follow the money, the power, and the resources behind the biggest economic shift in human history: from fossil fuels that are running out to the technologies racing to replace them.
Solar went from $15/watt to $0.24. Hydrogen gigaprojects are being built across three continents. The lithium triangle in South America holds 75% of the world's battery resources — and everyone wants in. Meanwhile, hard-to-abate industries like steel and cement still can't function without carbon. So what happens to the CO₂? Turns out, it might be worth $6 trillion.
This isn't about ideology. It's about who controls the next era of energy — and who gets left behind.
