About Greasy Rider
Filmmakers Joey Carey and J.J. Beck pack up their vegetable oil-powered 1981 Mercedes-Benz and set off on a cross-country road trip to explore the world of biodiesel fuel and vegetable oil conversion in this engaging documentary. In addition to appearances by Noam Chomsky, Morgan Freeman, Tommy Chong and Yoko Ono, the film also features interviews with representatives from vegetable oil-conversion companies such as Greasecar and Frybrid.
Directed by J.J. Beck, Joey Carey, Greasy Rider leans on a strong ensemble — Charlie Anderson, Justin Carven, Noam Chomsky — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2006.
