The documentary takes up the history of oil prices. It then looks at alternative fuels. The question at its centre is this. How did America go from a large exporter to an importer. The film goes through that turn step by step. How the dependence was built up is argued out. Energy policy and prices come into it. The film also goes after an old story. The story says an inventor built a carburettor that ran on very little fuel. It also says the invention was bought up and shelved. The filmmakers look into that account. No independent evidence for it is put on screen. Critics found that part of the film weak. Peter Gallagher narrates. Joshua Jackson also appears in the hundred and one minute film, an American production Jeremy Wagener and Scott Dwayne Roberts finished in 2010.
