GasHole" is a new documentary film about the history of Oil prices and the future of alternative fuels.

The film, narrated by Peter Gallagher, features interviews with a wide range of viewpoints from US Department of Energy Officials, Congressional leaders both Democrat and Republican, Alternative Fuel Producers, Alternative Fuel Consumers (such as actor Joshua Jackson), Professors of Economics and Psychology and more...

Directed by Jeremy Wagener & Scott D. Roberts, the film takes a wide, yet detailed examination of our dependence on foreign supplies of Oil.

What are the causes that led from America turning from a leading exporter of oil to the world's largest importer? What are the economic and sociological forces that have contributed to that change and impede its solution?

The film examines many different potential solutions to our oil dependence. Starting with claims of buried technology that dramatically improves gas mileage, to navigating bureaucratic governmental roadblocks, to evaluating different alternative fuels that are technologically available now, to questioning the American Consumer's reluctance to embrace alternatives.

If you buy gas, you should see this movie!

It'll sell. If Super Size Me could sell, McDonalds only impacting people slightly, this will definitely sell, gas effecting people greatly. I'd be interested, and I usually don't like documentaries since it's hard to find a good unbiased one.

I would like to see this movie also. I had mentioned the gentlemen they talk about who went from Texas to New Mexico (round trip 210 miles) on 2 gallons of gas in the 70's and was found dead in the desert to some coworkers. My coworkers actually remembered that story when they were teenagers during that era. Very interesting.

My dad heard of that, or even when he said something about a 'pill' or some sort of alternate way of making fuel but then they disappeared.

Really, really interesting. It has a larger emphasis on suburban living though.
