 The enlightening documentary film was voted a Dove Foundation Award and given the coveted Dove “Family Approved” Seal of Approval receiving five (5) out of five (5) Doves and also won the prestigious Omni Excellence AwardÒ presented for Educational Achievement. The film contains insightful interviews with key manufacturers, vendors, drivers & pioneers in the Electric Vehicle (EV) industry predicted to explode over the next 24 months as new electric cars have finally become a reality and are more affirdable than you think. Viewers may also sign up for a free test drive of the all new CODA after seeing the film. Many viewers will likely consider these new EVs (which plug into a 110 outlet & don’t use a drop of gasoline or oil), before purchasing their next car. Warren Buffet predicts: “All cars will be electric in 20 years”.


The producers started promoting the film before its official release by working with several EV manufacturers including CODA & select dealers that began selling electric cars in late 2011. The film has screened in over 65 cities so far in traditional theaters, auditoriums, high schools, and libraries. Many celebrities contributed to this “green themed”, enlightening film including Jay Leno (who let producers in his garage to film him driving his 1909 Baker Electric), Ed Begley, Jr., Fabio who appeared in the film, and “Baywatch” star & EV activist Alexandra Paul who hosted a behind the scenes chapter for the DVD. After meeting with President Obama (who is encouraging electric car & new battery technologies in the U.S.), Executive Producer and renowned Artist Romero Britto (www.Britto.com) painted the world’s 1st BRITTO TM electric car (a Tango T-600 Commuter Car) now touring the country promoting the film, and Chábeli Iglesias signed on to host the film’s Spanish language version of the film which will be available for Latin American and Spanish speaking markets later in 2012.
