Dear Solar Marketing Think Tank Members,
We’re thrilled to announce and support the theatrical release of the new documentary by Shalini Kantayya, Catching the Sun.
The film features solar industry leaders and champions like Danny Kennedy, Jigar Shah, David Crane and Van Jones as well as the personal stories of workers, advocates and entrepreneurs.
The film speaks to one of the biggest questions of our time: Can the U.S. consistently support the creation of hundreds of thousands of stable, well-paying jobs in clean energy, accelerate economic recovery, and even spur prosperity? While the ultimate answer to that question has not been determined, this film gives the solar industry an opportunity to gather together for screenings and to energize the conversation. Here’s the preview:
Catching the Sun will open April 1 at Cinema Village in New York City, and sneak peek screenings will be taking place April 4-21 in cities across the U.S.
