It's about the Cuban response to their own oil crisis, which happened in the early 90s when the Soviet Union collapsed and Cuba lost most of its oil supply. This is a particularly excellent film to show to people who may be put off or frightened by the usual kind of peak oil material that explains the problem well, but does not offer much in the way of possible solutions.

film. Cuba survived an energy famine during the 1990s, and how it
did so
constitutes one of the most important and hopeful stories of the
past few decades. It is a story not just of individual achievement,
but of the collective mobilization of an entire society to meet an
enormous challenge. Lest the point be missed, I will underscore it:
this particular challenge – the problem of energy scarcity
is one we will all be facing very soon. The VideoThe Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil is shown here as an embedded YouTube video in four parts of about 15 minutes each.
