Energy War, The: "Fillibuster"  [Plays Nov. 13 and 24 at DOC NYC festival; for more information, log on to https://www.docnyc.net/film/the-energy-war-filibuster/] D.A. Pennebaker, Chris Hegedus, and Pat Powell's educational, frustrating, complicated, behind-the-scenes, groundbreaking, historically-important, 87-minute political documentary, which was first aired on PBS as part 2 of a three-part series, that follows President Jimmy Carter's early attempts to control the price of natural gas amidst intense battles among regulatory agencies, congressmen (such as Gary Hart and Bennett Johnson), and senators (e.g., Ted Kennedy, Albert Gore, John Chafee, Howard M. Metzenbaum, Russell Long, Henry Jackson, and Pete Domenici), environmentalists, for profit oil and natural gas producers (such as A. V. Jones) and lobbyists (e.g., Chuck Lipsen and David Foster)—all claiming the higher ground, although sometimes caught on camera saying something very different—and the press, including Richard J. Whalen, Pat Grory, and Cokie Roberts, anxious to be the first to report any breaking story and sort through conflicting perspectives and examines the resulting 10-day, double filibuster in September and October 1977
