Fighting Goliath Film Premier
January 18 is the new date for the state-wide premier of a new version of the documentary Fighting Goliath:Texas Coal Wars.
7 - 8:30 p.m. at Highland Baptist Church
1101 Cherokee Road in Louisville.
Stay for a panel discussion by experts from a variety of backgrounds.
Narrated by Robert Redford and co-produced by The Redford Center at the Sundance Preserve and Alpheus Media, Fighting Goliath: Texas Coal Wars, follows the story of Texans fighting a high-stakes battle for clean air. The film introduces the unlikely partners - mayors, ranchers, CEOs, community groups, legislators, lawyers, and citizens - that came together to oppose the construction of 19 conventional coal-fired power plants that were slated to be built in Eastern and Central Texas and that were being fast-tracked by the Governor.
E-mail us if you would like a screening at your congregation.
