Diverted Power

Diverted Power is a call to action that encourages viewers to engage in meaningful conversations, advocate for change, and take concrete steps towards creating a more just and equitable industry.

As part of the creation of the film, 10 BIPOC energy leaders across the nation were invited to share their stories. The film showcases the diverse experiences and perspectives of these leaders and is a testament to the power of storytelling in creating empathy, understanding, and connection, and highlights the importance of amplifying the voices of those who have been marginalized.
