You must be kidding about Michael Moore's films being about "conspiracy theories".......He is a man who attempted to save the jobs in Michigan by reverting to the ELECTRIC CAR and anyone can save a lot of money to watch your home movie.
As I see it, you are not talking about jobs for former auto workers but exploiting your own persoal knowledge of the Pain(sic)'s awakening by their family and even the kid with the lowest grade average in the country KNOWS what you are talking about.
You are more of a filmmaker and I doubt you can get all of the people including Steve Martin and family friend Phyllis Diller and good friend Tom Hanks, who are totally against the way the capitalists are trying to look like environmentalists and the entire information can be found by Googling TESLA, THE ELECTRIC CAR and actually spend the better part of a day seeing films on YOUtube,and some 40 minute films about the different electric cars since the turn of the century.
The only conspiracy glossed over by Mr.Moore is the government's participation in eliminating the electric railroads from most cities in the country when Henry Ford put the rubber industry on the map, and the building of highways which put millions of people to work through the depression. Otherwise, the electric trolley, the HSR and most energy saving transportation has been in collusion with crooked government to keep the auto industry alive and now the electric car, which a gentleman mentions as having ridden in as a child in 1932 and was aware like millions of aging Americans about how the electric car is now being built to appeal to the rich, will not sell in great quantities except in Europe which is already selling them like mad, and CHEAPER. The most significant issue here is that you are making something that can be bought (film) from the History Channel, and PBS for less than sitting in uncomfortable seats.
Roads and bridges will not be addressed at your primary school teaching with questions and answers because most of the audience is aware of the reason the electric car was put on hold in order to make gasoline a product to make a special few in BILLIONAIRES.
You might call Gordon Getty who is a TRUE environmentalist (he is also very accessible)and is embarrassed that so much of his wealth was derived by his family OIL.....
Woodside and its environs,including Menlo Park/Atherton are all part of the GREEDIEST of B?Millionaires who made their fortunes with the help of oil and my personal attorney was Vice President who had his name on an oil barge...TEXACO.He was a terrible lawyer and I broke ties with him after I became involved in the world environment.He lived and raised thoroughbreds right in the area you live in and even
joked over his bourbon and branch water that I should "make my money and let the crybabies worry about the future"......
Ralph Nader and I parted friendship when I became close friends with Paul Erlich and Carl Sagan, whose interests were humanity and saving lives.I suggest you read Erlich if you haven't lately, and also Carl Sagan's views going back to the 60's onward.They were HEROES who knew a lot about the electric car and why they were not on the roads.
