SYNOPSIS

Bidder 70 is the story of college student, Tim DeChristopher, who monkey-wrenched the out-going Bush administration’s contentious oil and gas sale with bogus bids of $1.8 million, to save 22,000 acres of Utah’s pristine red rock wilderness. He inspired a movement but paid for it with his future. Bidder 70 is the story a principled young man and the bravery of his commitment to a livable world.
