 Robert Redford, narrator of Fighting Goliath, the Texas Coal Wars, an inspirational film which 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, faith groups, and citizens — who came together to oppose the construction of 19 conventional coal-fired power plants that were slated to be built in Texas and that were being fast-tracked by the Governor. This film was premiered in Scotland at a showing sponsored by CONCH in collaboration with Camcorder Guerillas and part of the Document 7 International Human Rights Film Festival on 24th October 2009. |
