| Summary |
A feature-length documentary about one man's search for a solution to America's dependence on foreign oil. It tells the story of Josh Tickell, an alternative fuel zealot who grew up in the shadows of a Louisiana oil refinery. He set out on a mission to promote biodiesel by touring the country in The Veggie Van, a motor home fueled by used French fry oil. Ten years later, Josh launches the Veggie Van on a new quest to find out how America got into this mess and how to get out of it. |
