ABOUT THE FILM
Winner of the 2008 Audience Award for Best Documentary at Sundance, FUEL is an insightful portrait of America's addiction to oil and an uplifting testament to the immediacy of new energy solutions. Director Josh Tickell, a young activist, shuttles viewers on a whirlwind journey to track the rising domination of the petrochemical industry-from Rockefeller's strategy to halt Ford's first ethanol cars to Vice President Cheney's petrochemical company sponsored energy legislation - and reveals a gamut of available solutions to "repower America" -from vertical farms that occupy skyscrapers to algae facilities that turn wastewater into fuel. Tickell and a surprising array of environmentalists, policy makers, and entertainment notables take the audience through America's complicated energy past and illuminate a hopeful, achievable future, where decentralized, sustainable living is not only possible, it's imperative.
"Fuel is a vital, superbly assembled documentary...it doesn't dwell on muckraking, however; it's more focused on broadly inspiring viewers than preaching to the converted...
Smartly animated interstitials, memorable archival material and a lively soundtrack round out the fast-paced proceedings." -Los Angeles Times February 13, 2009
