Happening: A Clean Energy Revolution

Jamie Redford embarks on a colorful personal journey into the dawn of the clean energy era as it creates jobs, turns profits, and makes communities stronger and healthier across the US.

Happening director and star Jamie Redford spent an intense and often funny year trying to understand and come to terms with one mind-bending problem—climate change—and an equally mind-blowing solution, renewable energy. The result, a feature-length film that chronicles Jamie’s exploration into the dawn of America’s clean-energy economy as it creates jobs, turns profits, and makes communities stronger and healthier. Filled with humor, animation, compelling characters, groovy music, and some absurd and amazing energy surprises, Happening showcases the people, places, and ideas that reveal a clean energy revolution that is democratic, patriotic, and well underway.
