Revolution Green - Free Film Showing: with Special Guest Kelly King
2007 Jessica Kelly (writer) & Stephen B. Strout (director/writer) - Revolution Green portrays how the choices we make as individuals have the ability to grow and take shape in ways that can benefit us all. Bob and Kelly King’s vision to manufacture sustainable biodiesel, Willie’s determination to get the word out, trucker Mike’s quest to use biodiesel and the farmer's dream to grow the fuel he needs is the emotional center of the documentary. Revolution Green is as much about the choices we face in the world today as it is about the future of one man’s idea, or one truckers dream to find his favorite fuel. In the end, history will remember the crossroads we find ourselves at as America stands on the brink of a new industrial revolution.
