FUEL


"Fuel" is a vital, superbly assembled documentary that presents an insightful overview of America's troubled relationship with oil and how alternative and sustainable energies can reduce our country's -- and the world's -- addictive dependence on fossil fuels. The film's structure is built around director-narrator Josh Tickell's personal journey of enlightenment, which started in childhood after moving with his family from idyllic Australia to murkier Louisiana, where he came to realize the oil-rich environment was being ravaged by the omnipotent petrochemical industry. Later, as a young adult, he spent 11 years crossing the country in his vegetable oil-powered "Veggie Van," promoting biofuels and compiling footage for what would become this impressively comprehensive film.






 


ROOTED IN PEACE


The creation of 'Rooted in Peace' is a personal journey of filmmaker GREG REITMAN who relives his past experience of living in Israel during the first Gulf War and witnessing first hand the gruesomeness of war and its impact on the region. Living on Kibbutz Gesher, we experience first hand the threat of biological weaponry and the scars inflicted on the youth of Jews, Muslims, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu- having to wear the horrific gas masks for their survival. Traumatized by the Gulf War, we revisit GREG REITMAN's quest to return stateside to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst to organize a tree drive on campus - called 'The Giving Tree: Rooted in Peace.' Why now, does the filmmaker decide to bring this story to life?
