An intimate and at times humorous portrait of an unstoppable Holocaust survivor.
I previously wrote about the film for DOC NYC’s program, saying:
Over the past decade, biodiesel has developed from a curiosity to a growing industry with the potential to undercut the dominance of Big Oil and fuel America’s transportation needs – and it all starts with recycled cooking oil. Once considered waste, fast-food grease is now a hot commodity, supporting a cottage industry of grease collectors and even grease thieves. Sam Wainwright Douglas, Paul Lovelace, and Jessica Wolfson’s engaging film profiles biodiesel’s innovators, entrepreneurs, and influential supporters like Senator Al Franken, working to ensure the future of this green energy source.
