A new documentary looks at how the future of the electric car was sabotaged.
"A murder mystery, a call to arms and an effective inducement to rage, "Who Killed the Electric Car?" is the latest and one of the more successful additions to the growing ranks of issue-oriented documentaries...The story mostly unfolds during the 1990's, when a few automobile manufacturers, including General Motors, were prodded to pursue â€" only to sabotage covertly â€" a cleaner future."
""Who Killed the Electric Car?" is rated PG (Parental guidance suggested). Revelations of big-business and government collusion may provoke shock, shock."
