In the past couple of years, several documentary films have come out that are focused on the folly of fossil fuels (such as oil, gasoline, and natural gas), and new films have also been made to bring attention to the broader climate crisis. Most of these movies have been critically acclaimed.
Recent fuel films include:
Gasland (2009): about drilling for natural gas by “fracking” (hydraulic fracturing) (Gasland is currently airing on HBO and via HBO On Demand.)
Crude (2009): about the lawsuit on Chevron/Texaco’s contamination of an Amazon community in Ecuador
Fuel (2008): about biodiesel made from waste vegetable oil
A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash (2007)
Climate of Change (2010: Coming Soon): This film was created to present inspiring, uplifting stories of regular people around the world who have spearheaded a variety of local initiatives to combat climate change.
The Age of Stupid (2008)
Climate Refugees (2009)
The 11th Hour (2007)
