I recently went to see the documentary FUEL. To be honest, I wasn't sure if I was in the mood to see a documentary as they are often serious and depressing. Though FUEL is about a serious subject; America's troubled relationship with oil, it moves beyond the history and spends a good amount of time showcasing alternative and sustainable resources. Director Josh Tickell takes us along on his 11 year journey across America and beyond, interviewing environmentalists, policy makers and entertainment activists creating insightful dialogues along the way. The brilliantly innovative technology Tickell highlights includes vertical farms that occupy skyscrapers in New York City to wind fields that could potentially create a large amount of new jobs (maybe replacing auto industry layoffs and hazardous coal mining positions) to algae facilities that turn waste water into tasty fuel. This potential illuminates a "hopeful, achievable future where decentralized, sustainable living is not only possible, it's imperative"! THIS is what allowed me to walk, no BOUNCE out of the theater motivated and inspired, ready to jump at my first opportunity to support these efforts! Jai Ma!
Don't sleep on this one as it a privately produced and distributed film and needs viewers to stay in theaters!
