NEWEST PROJECT
Green Revolution
This documentary is to observe actions taken to industrialize this commodity and expose any means of suppression by any party. This will help educate an unaware public that has been fed a false perception through fear. Providing this knowledge will help de-stigmatize the plant and help progress of an eco-friendly fuel and single use plastic waste. It will not only feature the many different processes to provide an alternative to fossil fuels, it may also provide great insight as why this plant was criminalized in the first place.
