BuzzFlash.com's Review (excerpt)
It's a documentary that is a mystery story about how a key invention that could help reduce global warming disappeared from the market place?

In essence then, it's a murder story: Who killed the electric car?

The answer to that question involves greed at the expense of conserving our planet for future generations.

"Traditional gasoline-powered cars produce harmful carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming. To get an idea of just how much greenhouse gases are emitted, consider this: in the United States alone, approximately 6.6 tons are emitted by the average person in a given year. About 82% of these emissions are from the burning of fossil fuels used to power our cars.

Contrast that with electric vehicles, which produce zero emissions and therefore do not contribute to the global warming epidemic."

It's a crime with plenty of suspects but no arrests.

Because it's not illegal to make profiteering decisions that destroy the planet -- and the Bush Administration wants to keep it that way.

This is a fascinating story of how solutions to global warming have been available for sometime, but have willfully been removed from the marketplace.

An absolutely stunning story of corporate irresponsiblity that should be prosecutable.

Eye opening and mind boggling.

Did you think all-electric vehicles were something of the future? Think again - they were something of the past, until automakers fought to overturn clean-air laws and keep gas guzzlers on the road. But there's a movement afoot to get these zero-emissions vehicles back on the road again - and Jumpstart Ford is proud to be a part of it! Find out why petroleum free, pollution free cars were hunted down and crushed with this hot documentary in theaters near you!

In January of 2005, the Jumpstart Ford campaign led a successful vigil to save perfectly-running, all-electric gasoline-free Ford Ranger trucks from being destroyed! You can see the vigil mentioned in the movie,"Who Killed the Electric Vehicle."
