A Josh and Rebecca Tickell Film
From the filmmakers of the Sundance Award-winning film Fuel comes the documentary Freedom. In the aftermath of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Louisiana native Josh Tickell and his wife Rebecca take an international journey to investigate alternatives to fossil fuels.
There is widespread agreement that America needs to wean itself off oil. Yet, among alternative energy sources, the most common and accessible biofuel—ethanol—remains a lightning rod. In Freedom the Tickells set out to learn the truth about this home-grown fuel and explore how it fits into a solution to America’s oil fix.
The film offers an array of green solutions, sharing information about advanced biofuels, plug-in hybrids, and other sustainable technologies. With insightful and inspiration interviews from former NATO Commander Wesley Clark, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, singer/songwriter Jason Mraz, international author Deepak Chopra, and actors Michelle Rodriguez, Amy Smart, and Ed Begley, Jr., Freedom invites people to become activists for a cleaner approach to fuel.
