Dear Mr. Gore
This personal narrative documentary uses the director?s bicycle ride to work as a vehicle to explore fear and global warming. The film was shot over a period of two years in Sweden, Denmark and Orlando, Florida. It is a contemplative response to An Inconvenient Truth and provides a unique perspective on one person?s attempt to reduce her carbon footprint and overcome fear. She wonders, ?Will Americans ever be able to give up personal freedom for the good of the planet?? Her journey to the answer takes the viewer on a humorous bike ride. Along the way she meets Swedes, Danes and many young people who aren?t afraid of giving up their cars. But she discovers that the reasons they ride may not be directly related to their concerns about global warming. The film features a bicycle ride with the Mayor of Orlando and music by Danish electric violin sensation Mads Tolling.

Vegetarians of Central Florida will also have a booth at the Global Peace Film Festival Street Fair on Sunday, September 20 from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
