Luke Hemsworth, Jeremie Harris and Vincent Kartheiser round out the cast of the John Stalberg-helmed indie.

Beau Knapp, the star of Netflix's recently canceled series Seven Seconds, will star alongside Alexis Bledel (The Handmaid’s Tale, Gilmore Girls), Kurt Russell (The Hateful Eight), Luke Hemsworth (Westworld), Jeremie Harris (Legion) and Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men) in the money laundering thriller Crypto.

Directed by John Stalberg Jr., the indie film is written by Carlyle Eubank and David Frigerio based on an original story by Jeffrey Ingber and produced by Yale Prods.’ Jordan Yale Levine and Jordan Beckerman alongside David Frigerio.

“Does our pop culture influence our violent behavior?” director Greg Reitman asks in voiceover, dismayed by the vindictiveness he now sees in the comic books he loved as a child. “Does any of this really matter?” he muses during a peace march. “What can nature teach us?” he asks, staring at a large tree. And, after his interviews with peace proponents, nutritionists, environmentalists, and folk singers have left him hopelessly befuddled, he poses another question: “Where do we go from here?”

Greg Reitman in the documentary “Rooted in Peace.” Setting out to determine if human beings have the potential for enlightenment, “Rooted in Peace” finds environmental filmmaker Greg Reitman embarking on a lively, if peripatetic, quest for personal betterment.

Greg Reitman is indeed the right man to make this sweet and poignant film at just the right time—amidst a current backdrop of political bitterness, unprecedented national divisiveness and bellicose buildup of military might at the expense of public health and our environment.

I'm not sure if biodiesel fuels are the answer to the world's oil addiction, but director Josh Tickell makes a good case for it in "Fuel," a peppy, bouncy documentary that is watchable and informative, although Tickell's celebrity name-dropping at times detracts from the serious message.

“Fuel,” Josh Tickell’s unabashedly intimate, 11-years-in-the-making attack on America’s addiction to oil, is not so much a green documentary as a red, white and blue alarm. But if you can resist the urge to run for the exit, you may leave the theater feeling a lot more hopeful than when you went in.

JOSH TICKELL IS an environmental activist who works on many levels at the same time. The Louisiana-raised author and speaker’s dozen-year peripatetic promotion of biofuels is captured in his convincing new documentary “Fuel,” an extremely wide-ranging biopic, in-depth history of oil and inspiring forward-looking thriller ripe with intriguing new ideas.

“Fuel” is a vital, superbly assembled documentary that presents an insightful overview of America’s troubled relationship with oil and how alternative and sustainable energies can reduce our country’s -- and the world’s -- addictive dependence on fossil fuels.
