Worried about the state of the planet Earth?
Well, have we got a documentary for you. Several, in fact.
Fall is the season for tree-hugging features – even if the genre typically spells tiny profits even by indie standards.
And let’s face it. If “An Inconvenient Truth” and “The Day After Tomorrow” didn’t convince us to reduce our carbon footprint, a little seen documentary won’t have any impact on consumer habits.
Here are just a few of the documentaries heading our way in the weeks to come:
- “Earth Days” – Remember when green wasn’t the coolest color in your progressive wardrobe? This new documentary recalls the birth of the green movement right back to the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson’s DDT slam “Silent Spring.” We also get a refresher course on the very first Earth Day back in 1970. Directed by Robert Stone (“Oswald’s Ghost,” “Guerilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst”).
- “Fuel” – Director Josh Tickell spent 11 years looking at possible solutions to America’s addiction to oil. “Fuel” promises to show us ways to break our addiction while creating green jobs and not breaking the country’s bank. Sounds like hope and change, fantasy style.
- “No Impact Man” – Think Ed Begley, Jr. is the king of living green? Not even close. Consider Colin Beavan, an author who decided to leave as little environmental impact as humanly possible for one year. Things get complicated when his wife and daughter get wrapped up in his mission.

Makes me want to fire up my old 1960 Cadillac and go cruising about Los Angeles all night.
Sigh. More leftist propaganda. Now I hear that the EPA wants to declare C02 a pollutant. How will all of those trees survive?
hahaha! It’s ironic… the Toyota Prius is advertising on this page. I love irony.
