Free Screening of "Fighting Goliath: Texas Coal Wars | Print |

Fighting Goliath: Texas Coal Wars

On September 9 at Salt Lake City's famed Tower Theater, the Utah Chapter of the Sierra Club, will host a screening of the new film, Fighting Goliath: Texas Coal Wars, 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.

The film is especially timely as citizens all across the country, including right here in Utah, wage battle against Big Coal's plans to build approximately 150 new coal-fired power plants. Witness how people of all backgrounds come together over one simple but critical cause - to protect our environment and the world in which we live.

The film will be followed by a panel discussion with distinquished guests and free refreshments. Also, learn how you can be engaged and make a difference! Be part of something big! Similar events are happening the same night at eight communities throughout Utah and Nevada!

  • Date: Tuesday, September 9, 2008
  • Time: 7:00 PM
  • Venue: Tower Theater, 876 East 900 South
  • Admission price/free: FREE!
  • Sponsored by Utah Chapter of Sierra Club
