Electric Vehicles: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Anna plugs her EV into a fast-charging station, watching minutes and dollars tick away on her phone screen. Her personal journey intersects with interviews of Tesla engineers, Congolese miners, and environmental activists, weaving a complex tapestry of the technological shift. This 2025 documentary probes beyond the green promise of electric vehicles to examine hidden costs—from lithium extraction to battery waste mountains. The director juxtaposes the optimism of Silicon Valley innovators with the anxieties of communities living near resource mines. Viewers are taken from futuristic assembly lines to present-day recycling challenges, prompting a deeper inquiry into the true price of clean mobility.

The director employs stark visual contrasts, cutting between sterile R&D facilities and raw, earth-scarring mining sites to frame a debate about progress.
