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.
KIPL held the premier showing of Fighting Goliath on January 18 at Highland Baptist Church in Louisville.
