Reviews
“There are a lot of films that depict the myriad of environmental problems confronting humankind, oftentimes with a sense of inevitability and dread. While we can’t turn away from these implications, we also need stories and examples to inspire and excite our imaginations about how crises can also be opportunities for substantive transformation. This film does that and more, providing a basis for how communities can both generate power (as in electricity) and also reclaim power (as in voice). Watch it and give your sense of possibility a much-needed boost!”
