*THE VERMONT MOVIE, Part Six: People's Power: Thursday, June 25th, 6:30 at Tenney Memorial Library, Rte. 5, Newbury VT. * *People’s Power* tackles contemporary tensions over energy, independence, the environment and the state’s future. Chronicling the struggle to close the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant, it reveals the power of protest, the influence of lobbyists and the importance of town meeting debate and a citizen legislature. It follows the battle over windmills in Lowell—a struggle over scale, aesthetics and environmental impacts—and explores thorny questions about economics, sovereignty and climate change. Finally, the devastating impacts of Hurricane Irene reveal the power not only of nature, but of people and community.

Each of The Vermont Movie's six parts is a stand-alone segment, 80 minutes long. Carly Wade will facilitate the discussion and refreshments will follow. Handicapped accessible and all are welcome.
