Catching the Sun Film Screening

  • 28 Jun 2016
  • 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
  • Unitarian Universalist Church of Elgin, 39W830 Highland Ave, Elgin, IL 60124

Through the stories of workers and entrepreneurs in the U.S. and China, Catching the Sun explores the global race to lead the clean energy future. Over the course of a solar jobs training program, Catching the Sun follows the hope and heartbreak of unemployed American workers seeking jobs in the solar industry. With countries like China investing in innovative technologies and capitalizing on this trillion-dollar opportunity, Catching the Sun tells the story of the global energy transition from the perspective of workers and entrepreneurs building solutions to income inequality and climate change with their own hands. Their successes and failures speak to one of the biggest questions of our time: will the U.S. actually be able to build a clean energy economy? Set against the struggle to build a ‘green economy’,

 Catching the Sun will engage new audiences in solutions to climate change and income inequality.
