PUMP, documentary on oil monopoly, to hit theaters in September
In New York, PUMP, the latest documentary feature film from Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell, will be making its long awaited premiere this September in specially selected theaters around the country. The initial presentations take place in New York on September 12th.
Narrated by Jason Bateman, PUMP is an inspiring, eye-opening documentary that tells the story of America’s addiction to oil, from its corporate conspiracy beginnings to its current monopoly today, and explains clearly and simply how we can end it – and finally win choice at the pump.
“Half of America makes less than $50,000 a year for their families. When oil prices rise, their pocketbooks are constrained almost instantly,” says John Hofmeister, the former CEO of Shell Oil Co. “There’s been a monopoly on the fuel system of cars built and sold in this country. It’s time to break that monopoly. It’s time to give Americans choice.”
The film features notable experts such as David Blume, author of “Alcohol Can Be A Gas;” Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors; and Peter Goldmark, former president of the Rockefeller Foundation. The Auto Channel’s Marc J. Rauch is also among other noteworthy figures who share their passionate views and knowledge of the issues.
