The film starts with a simple premise (click here), to come to understand the depth of knowledge of the American electorate regarding Human Induced Global Warming. The truck fueled by biofuel had a display on the side which people were to fill in the blank letters to complete the topic which had a prompt by the picture next to the puzzle. The people visited by the documentarians failed miserably.
The trailer to this film is very generous. The film follows 'the spirit' of average folks inspired to make a difference regarding the plight of their planet. Just that simple. That is also 'the strength' of this film. There was a "Q&A" session following the viewing of the film. The documentarians, one a lady and the other a gentleman, would best serve the movement to overcome American lethargy on this subject acting as a resource to those 'caught up' in power struggles their communities need direction.
An example of that came as a question to the film makers regarding a utility that simply didn't want opposition to a new power plant. The questioner stated, "I was told that the power plant if not built here would be built somewhere else and to that end I need to quell my opposition to same. What do you think?"
The filmmakers were a huge resource in that they supported the questioners view of the world. Alternatives are far more a realistic answer to American energy. The 'idea' that succumbing to political greed and pressure should seek to oppress any objection or simple question caused confusion to the opposition's role in the argument.

The need for the mission of this film is just this simple and completely obvious to me.
If a power plant fueled by an insulting fuel source is proposed by a community the opposition to it should be vigorous. Why wouldn't it be? The 'idea' the plant will be built somewhere else anyway is a bizarre argument. What is to say the questioner could not follow the 'agenda' of the power plant's dogma around the region, state or country? What is to say any other community would want it in their backyards? Americans that seek opposition to the 'status quo' of this agenda in DC are unsure to even 'their right' to free speech.
The filmmakers greatest strength is at 'the grassroots level.' It is where their focus began and lingered through most of the film. The power within that reality is empowering and promotion of the DVD is a strength to building demands for their film and their expertise. That 'grassroots' movement was pursued by Al Gore to some extent, but, certainly has plenty of room for still another perspective even more intense in it's empowerment of the electorate. Don't stop now. This is a hugely wonderful 'people based' film and even more so than "An Inconvenient Truth." I wish them well. It's a very valuable film.
