On Wednesday, March 18, the Los Angeles Greens are proud to welcome Josh Tickell, director of the hit new film, Fuel.
If you haven’t heard about Fuel yet, you will. As the film’s website, www.thefuelfilm.com says, “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.”
Winner of the 2008 Sundance Audience Award winning documentary film, Fuel is garnering a lot of praise and buzz. With glowing reviews from the L.A. Times, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer and MTV Movies, just to name a few; and a recent appearance with Jay Leno on The Tonight Show; Josh is riding a wave of excitement about our energy future that his film insightfully explores.
In addition to being a filmmaker, Josh Tickell is also an activist and author. His latest book is Biodiesel America – How To Achieve Energy Security, Free America From Middle- East Oil Dependence and Make Money Growing Fuel. The book offers a complete energy roadmap to wean the United States from fossil fuels. Copies of the book will be available for signing at the event.
One of the Green Party’s Ten Key Values is Ecological Wisdom. Josh’s new film Fuel demonstrates steps that we can take, through the way we use energy, to improve our environmental stewardship. That's why we’re pleased and honored to feature Josh Tickell as our speaker this March.
Please join us as we hear from Josh, watch a few clips from Fuel, and engage him in a lively Q & A. Josh will be introduced by his mom, Deborah Dupre, a lifelong human rights advocate.
***Refreshments and snacks are vegetarian potluck; please bring some with you, and bring a friend too!
