About the Films
Kilowatt Hours: Filmmaker Jeff Barrie takes viewers on a journey from the coal mines of West Virginia to the solar panel fields of Florida, as he discovers solutions to America's energy related problems (38 min).
Power Shift: Narrated by Cameron Diaz. Power Shift explores the remarkable ways energy touches our daily lives. Meet activists from around the world and learn personal action steps you can take to reduce global warming. (26 minutes).
Bringing Down the Mountains: Bringing Down the Mountains was created in January 2006 by three high school students from Greensburg, Pennsylvania.

(20 min).
Earth to America: This hilarious film celebrates life on Earth by taking aim at one of our planet's most serious problems: global warming, and features comedy luminaries such as Steve Martin, Robin Williams, Ben Stiller, and Jack Black, as well as Tom Hanks, Robert Kennedy, Jr., and nearly a dozen others (90 min).Meet the Panel
