Fuel

FIELDS OF FUEL is a feature length theatrical documentary about one man's search for a solution to America's dependence on foreign oil. It tells the story of Josh Tickell, an alternative fuel zealot who grew up in the shadows of a Louisiana oil refinery. Ten years ago he set out on a mission to promote biodiesel, a clean burning, renewable fuel by touring the country in The Veggie Van, a motor home fueled by used French fry oil. His road trip earned him national media attention. But America wasn't ready to listen. Instead they bought SUVs and hummers. Ten years later in a post 9-11 world our country is engulfed in an oil war, our environment is being destroyed and gas prices have gone through the roof. FIELDS OF FUEL is the story of how Josh launches the Veggie Van on a new biodiesel-fueled quest to find out how we got into this mess and more importantly, how we get out. What he finds on his journey are new solutions to problems, new reasons to hope for the future and a growing grassroots movement passionate about the need for sustainable American made fuel.
