Synopsis

Shifting Gears is a twenty-two minute documentary that takes a light-hearted look at one of the most serious challenges facing human kind: How can we get around without the oil from underground? We had to know it wouldn’t last forever. Are there answers? Some people believe we have always had them. From the history of the diesel engine, to the emerging trend of collecting cooking oil waste to use as fuel, all the way to home-made bio-diesel manufacturing. Take this journey to meet the people making a difference and learn how you can join in.
