Free Power is a feature-length bipartisan climate documentary that places the American home at the forefront of the climate battle.

The climate crisis can feel overwhelming, but we all do have a choice when it comes to our personal infrastructure. Up to sixty percent of the average American’s carbon footprint comes entirely from their home, from simple decisions made around the kitchen table. Our film explores those everyday choices — from cooking and heating to solar power, home energy storage, and financing. It’s not the most glamorous work, but there is a lot of administration involved in trying to save the planet.

At the heart of our film is a simple idea: our personal journeys can have a huge impact on wider culture. Social revolutions often start as small discussions about how we live our daily lives — those simple kitchen-table conversations with family and friends. A more mindful and environmentally friendly home can create a ripple effect through a community, a town, a city, and a state. To avoid technocratic brightsiding and back-slapping, Free Power looks at a cross-section of society and solutions.

We travel to Georgia to meet Debbie Dooley, a founding member of the Tea Party movement who is pro-solar, pro-energy choice, and pro-freedom — an energy Erin Brockovich who took on the Koch brothers in Georgia and won. Then there’s Bob Blake, a Native American solar entrepreneur installing microgrids in Minnesota. He explains how utilities keep us locked in antiquated systems that do not benefit the communities they serve.

We also meet Sven, who isn’t afraid to be a thorn in the side of local governance and push for change. He is the first man to get a curbside charger in California and a green-building advocate living in a passive house. These airtight passive houses were the only ones left standing after the devastating Pacific Palisades fires in LA. We explore not only practical solutions but also those designed for climate resilience.

One of our final homes features a single mom living in one of California's first-ever net-zero multifamily apartment buildings. The solution to climate change is not just one solution; it’s all solutions for all different types of American families.

Free Power explores the ongoing push that families, contractors, and housing projects face when they try to decarbonize their buildings. We also dissect the nefarious forces that have fought tooth and nail to keep our homes — and in turn, us — trapped in outdated and dangerous fossil fuel infrastructure that is increasingly expensive and unreliable.

Documentaries that discuss the climate crisis often leave their viewers depressed about the inaction and complicity of our leaders. Free Power, however, gives its audience solutions, examples, and trailblazers who have already gone on this journey — so that viewers can feel inspired to free the power in their homes.
