Power Station - BIRMINGHAM - MOCKINGBIRD CINEMA

Power Station began in the depths of lockdown - and in the aftermath of our previous film Bank Job, where we purchased and blew up £1.2 million of local debt - with the question ‘'what could we do from where we live, with the people around us, to build power - of energy and imagination?’

Working to turn a street and local schools solar, Power Station is a scalable in-your-face prototype of community led power. Channelling Withnail and I and Ealing comedy the film charts the financial and emotional trials and tribulations of making change together. From sleeping on rooftops to growing thousands of sunflowers and attempts at Christmas number one, community spirit and resilience are at the heart of this documentary.

"I can’t recommend this film enough.You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll kickstart a community-led renewable energy revolution.

I will say, without any sense of exaggeration or hyperbole, that this is one of the most important films ever made. Everyone needs to see it."
