WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR? (2006)

Positive Experience/Entertaining? Definitely a positive experience because I learned a few things. Alas, it was far from a perfect documentary.
Technically any good? Informative, but a bit slow. I think 20-30 minutes could have been cut and the film wouldn't have made much less of its point. As it is, there are a few good places to get up to go to the bathroom, unfortunately. The film does manage to be very enlightening and does point out some very important things about electric cars and the people who would see them erased from existence.
How did it leave me feeling? Definitely better informed and definitely that there was a concerted effort by various parties to shoot down the very concept of the electric car. One thing the movie didn't mention as a suspect in the murder of the electric car was the [wiki: petrodollar]. If you don't know what that is, look it up!
Final Rating? GSN - Go See Now--even though it's a bit slow and too long, it's one of the most important documentaries and we should all be aware of how various forces are manipulating what is available to us.
