LCON have teamed up with Makespace to offer a screening of the wonderful and inspirational film Power Station (which sold out rapidly when it was on at the Phoenix last autumn). Please join us for a screening of the film and discussion on 20 May, 6.30-8.30pm, at Makespace, 1 Aristotle Lane. Tickets are £3.50, to cover the costs of the licence.

Power Station is a funny, engaging documentary about a street in Walthamstow, London, deciding to become a solar panel power station. “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.”

You will also be able to meet residents of Southmoor Road, who – inspired by Power Station – are embarking on their very own People Owned Power project.

We hope to see you there!
