Submarine Deluxe has released the first trailer for the upcoming documentary Pump, taking a look at America’s addiction to oil, from what the official synopsis describes as “its corporate conspiracy beginnings to its current monopoly today, and explains clearly and simply how we can end it – and finally win choice at the pump.”
Directed by Joshua and Rebecca Harrell Tickell, the film will play select theaters on September 12 and features interview subjects such as John Hofmeister (Founder and CEO at Citizens for Affordable Energy), Elon Musk (CEO & Cheif Product Architect of Tesla Motors) and Luiz Inácio da Silva (Brazil’s president from 2003-2011) and plenty of people from around the country using alternate fuel to power their vehicles.
Today oil is our only option of transportation fuel at the pump. Our exclusive use of it has drained our wallets, increased air pollution and sent our sons and daughters to war in faraway lands. PUMP shows us how through the use of a variety of replacement fuels, we will be able to fill up our cars – cheaper, cleaner and American made – and in the process, create more jobs for a stronger, healthier economy.
The film features notable experts such as John Hofmeister, former President of Shell Oil US; Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors; Peter Goldmark, former president of the Rockefeller Foundation; and other noteworthy figures who share their passionate views and knowledge.
Right now we have the ability to change our country’s future, but we never knew it. Aren’t we tired of being taken for a ride? PUMP is the movie that could change that.
