EXCLUSIVE: As parts of California continue to rebuild following wildfires in recent years, The Grid Unplugged explores a systemic failure at the root of the problem.
Making its world premiere at the Hamptons International Film Festival, Deadline has an exclusive clip from the Rick Cutter-helmed documentary written by Adam Samuel Goldman, which asks what happens when the world’s power grids can’t keep up with growing demand.
Featuring interviews with leading energy experts, innovators and policymakers about how to modernize our infrastructure, the timely documentary uses California’s devastating wildfires to discuss a larger story around the growing strain on aging power grids and why it isn’t discussed with more urgency. While also spotlighting alarming risks, the doc offers potential solutions to another looming crisis.
From producers Meghan Walsh and Cutter, executive producers include Lauren Avinoam, Kirpi Uimonen and Ed Begley Jr.
The Grid Unplugged premieres Saturday at the 34th Hamptons International Film Festival, which runs Oct. 2-12.
