The curse for me has been
the fact that in making these
:55:06
you know documentary films
:55:09
Ive seen that they
actually can impact change
:55:12
so Im just compelled
to just keep making them.
:55:14
Yep thats me
doing what l do
:55:17
All year long I give big
companies a hard time
:55:20
but at Christmas time I like
to set aside my differences
:55:23
and reach out to big business
like cigarette companies.
:55:31
Deck the Halls with
boughs of holly...

I went to Littleton
Colorado
:55:40
where the Columbine
shooting took place
:55:43
and I didnt
know this
:55:45
but when I arrived I learned
what the primary job is
:55:49
of the parents of the kids who
go to Columbine High School.
:55:52
The number one job
in Littleton Colorado
:55:54
They work
for Lockheed Martin
:55:56
building weapons
of mass destruction.
:55:59
But they dont
see the connect
:56:01
between what
they do for a living
:56:04
and what their
kids do at school
:56:07
or did at school
:56:09
And so Im kind of you
know up on my high horse
:56:12
thinking about this
and I thought you know
:56:16
I said to my wife
:56:17
we both are sons and
daughters of auto workers
:56:21
in Flint Michigan.
:56:22
There isnt a single one of
us back in Flint
:56:25
any of us including us
:56:27
who ever
stopped to think
:56:30
this thing we do
for a living
:56:32
the building
of automobiles
:56:34
is probably
the single biggest reason
:56:36
why the polar ice caps
are going to melt
:56:39
and end civilization
as we know it.
:56:42
Theres no connect between
:56:45
Im just an assembler on an
assembly line building a car
:56:48
which is good
for people and society
:56:50
and it moves
them around.
:56:51
But never stop to think
about the larger picture
:56:54
and the larger responsibility
of what were doing.
:56:57
Ultimately we have to
as individuals
