Civilization, in this film's argument, is not a triumph but a slow-motion catastrophe, and the title names the moment someone decides they have had enough of it: 'when you know that from now on you will resist with whatever tactic you think is most effective.' Made under the banner of the Savage Revival project, the film sets industrial society against societies still using what it calls stone age techniques, pointing to their record of feeding people without exhausting soil or driving other species extinct as evidence that sustainability and technological simplicity are linked, not opposed. It frames the loss of cultural diversity and the loss of biodiversity as the same event, described here as the sixth mass extinction, and asks whether civilization's collapse might be a relief for everything outside it rather than a disaster. The tone is polemical throughout, built to make a case for dismantling industrial society rather than to weigh both sides of it.
