Dear Governor Cuomo (2012)
'Dear Governor Cuomo' is a concert protest film aimed at influencing New York state's decision to ban hydraulic fracturing - fracking - or adopt it. Featuring local activists including Mark Ruffalo, 'Melissa Leo' , 'Natalie Merchant' , Pete Seeger, Citizen Cope and scientists like Sandra Steingraber, the film - a blend of 'The Last Waltz' and 'An Inconvenient Truth' lays out the science and facts behind the decision and encourages the governor to join the anti-fracking majority in his state. Though focused on the issue in New York, the education, and incredible music, are relevant in the 34 states that already allow fracking.

Awesome Movie
How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
