RGIPT has opened a brand new CSE branch and I have no idea if it's a good choice or not. Any thoughts? How are placements, reputation, etc?
New Analysis: Alaska-Made Natural Gas And Oil Drives U.S. Economic Recovery, Strengthens All Industries

I was fortunate enough to see this video when I was in high school and it was a laugh-riot: incompetently made, dated before it even came out, and shockingly propagandistic even for the time with lines like "you're not going to believe this, but everything everything I have that's really cool comes from oil!". I've always wanted to revisit it, both for comedy and as a damning example of how the petroleum industry attempts to market to and socially-engineer children, but I've never been able to find a copy online. Especially considering the film is still occasionally cited in essays and papers (like https://apps.publicintegrity.org/oil-education/ from 2017) I think it's worth preserving just from a historical and educational standpoint.
According to WorldCat there are three VHS tapes of it still in circulation but the two in America belong to a public school system in another state and the other one is in Singapore: https://www.worldcat.org/title/fuel-less-you-cant-be-cool-without-fuel/oclc/37246342
The video is obscure enough to not have an IMDB page and is hard to reliably search for because "fuel-less" returns tons of garbage videos from scammers trying to sell perpetual motion machines and other automotive quackery. Since it was only ever distributed to schools I imagine the best chance of getting a rip of it is probably a teacher who has access to it at their school or in their personal collection, but the movie is 25 years old at this point so I admit it's a longshot.
