From Josh Tickell, a local biofuels activist.  His other movie, The Fuel Film was awesome.  I suspect this one will be equally informative, insightful, and inspirational.  He's well worth supporting! 
 
 
 
This weekend, “The Big Fix” (the movie my wife and I risked our lives for that unveils a huge coverup around the Gulf Oil Spill) premieres in Los Angeles. Our goal is to get 1,000 people to the theater and to have the movie compete for an Academy Award. I want to personally invite you (and everyone you know) to come see the movie this weekend and join me for a Q & A (Rebecca and I will be at each screening).
 

"The Big Fix" premieres this weekend at the AMC Broadway Cinema on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, CA (Showtimes: Sat at noon and 2:30pm, Sunday at noon and 7PM).

Here's some info about this movie which the New Orleans Times Picayune calls "EXPLOSIVE" and Gambit calls "MASSIVELY IMPORTANT. The UK GUARDIAN says "It's not every film that sets off on a mini-road trip with Peter Fonda, only to veer off into a night-vision goggle surveillance of a BP facility....

"The Big Fix” is part daring journalism, part archival investigation and part eco-horror story. “The Big Fix” features Peter Fonda and received critical acclaim earlier this year as the only Official Selection documentary of the Cannes Film Festival.

Through interviews with scientists, government officials, journalists (including Rolling Stone’s Jeff Goodell who examined the Gulf spill in his article “The Poisoning”), attorneys (including New Orleans Toxic Tort attorney Stuart Smith) and Gulf States natives, “The Big Fix” recounts the events surrounding the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico and paints a disturbing picture of the aftermath of the largest oil spill in America’s history.

“The Big Fix” reveals the powerful political and corporate system that put profits over the health and long-term sustainability of people and the environment. No matter what the petroleum and government officials say, the oil is still gushing ashore, the seafood industry is wiped out, and tens, possible hundreds of thousands of locals are sick.

I look forward to personally seeing you this Saturday at noon or 2:30pm or this Sunday at noon or 7pm.
