Oil + Water tells of the thrilling adventures of Seth Warren and Tyler Bradt, two friends and world-class kayakers who drove, petroleum-free, over 21,000 miles down the Pan-American Highway in a retro-fitted bio-diesel Japanese fire truck named "Baby". The film captures their passion for sustainable living practices and the humor they maintained in the face of many challenges along the way.


"We are delighted by this tremendous honor," says Seth Warren, President of the Biofuels Education Coalition and one of the two paddlers featured in the film. "We hope that the attention leads to more people learning about alternative energy and the environmental choices that we can all make."

Founded in Paris in 1991 by filmmakers and explorers Jean-Christophe Jeauffre and Frédéric Dieudonné, the Jules Verne Adventures organization is a nonprofit with a mission to honor and preserve the natural bio-diversity of the planet.
