Plot

PUMP is a 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. Today, oil is our only option for transportation-fuel at the pump.

Sinekatalog’s take

A documentary about America's dependence on oil, tracing its corporate roots and arguing for alternatives. It is earnest, persuasive and one-sided in the manner of advocacy films. Informative for viewers interested in energy and environment.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
