The "Kilowatt Ours" Road Show 

“What would you find if you traced the wires from your light switch to their energy source? Mountaintop removal, childhood asthma, or… hope?” This is the story told by the documentary Kilowatt Ours, produced in 2007. The hope results from filmmaker Jeff Barrie’s search for solutions to today’s energy problems in America’s towns and cities.

The Education Committee has transformed the Full Moon Theater concept to a “road show”. Members of the committee are offering to show Kilowatt Ours to organizations, clubs, and groups.

Presenters will introduce the film, show the 35-minute version of the documentary, and lead a discussion. They ask groups to have a minimum of 12 people in attendance.

Filmed in the Southeast, the documentary has segments about power companies, schools, businesses, and everyday people finding ways to meet energy needs while using conservation and green power. It includes ways to reduce energy bills while improving the environment.

If you are part of a group that schedules programs for their meetings, please suggest Kilowatt Ours for their consideration. Requests may be directed to the Education Committee at 815-338-0393. No fee is charged for the program, but donations to the Defenders are always welcome.
