In 2007 I was sent to India by a Berlin based agency to produce a
series of Youtube clips of a mad adventurer who had built his own solar
car and who was apparently on a mission to circumnavigate the world. 2 years, 50.000km, almost 40 countries, and 200 hours of footage later, I slowly start to understand. The mad adventurer turned out to be a likable swiss school teacher called Louis Palmer. Together with a young crew of highly motivated volunteers, he drove the so-called Solartaxi around the whole globe. While everyone else seems to be stuck in endless debates on how to reduce CO2-emissions by a few percent, or how to deal with the disastrous effects of drilling oil underwater, Louis‘ simple little car was able to show one thing: alternative energies work. I am happy to have been able to shoot this documentary . The light-hearted story of the Solartaxi is one that everyone in these days of change should hear about. Enjoy it. |
