The movie Fuel, previously called, Fields of Fuel is a 2008 documentary film directed by Josh Tickell.
Fuel won the audience award at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.[1]
From the Sundance synopsis:
Most Americans know we’ve got a problem: an addiction to oil that taxes the environment, entangles us in costly foreign policies, and threatens the nation’s long-term stability. But few are informed or empowered enough to do much about it. Enter Josh Tickell, an expert young activist who, driven by his own emotionally charged motives, shuttles us on a revelatory, whirlwind journey to unravel this addiction—from its historical origins to political constructs that support it, to alternatives available now and the steps we can take to change things.
