Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm Presents: February Film Festival
Friday, February 24
The New Fire (84 min)
THE NEW FIRE tells a provocative and startlingly positive story about a planet in crisis and the young heroes who are trying to save it. Nuclear power has been vilified in popular culture and among much of the environmental community. Yet the next-generation reactors currently in development may actually be key to avoiding global catastrophe. The young entrepreneurs heading this energy revolution realize they are up against more than the climate clock – they need to convince all of us that the "new nuclear" is safe and achievable.
Filmed across four continents over the course of twenty-two months, Emmy® award-winning director David Schumacher’s film focuses on how the generation facing the most severe impact of climate change is fighting back with ingenuity and hope. Featuring Jeffrey Sachs, Bill Gates, James Hansen, Ken Caldeira, Kerry Emanuel and nuclear start-ups Oklo, Transatomic, and TerraPower.
