An environmental group in Harrogate is inviting the public to explore a bold vision for community-led change at its latest film night.
Extinction Rebellion is hosting a free screening of Power Station on Saturday, March 7, at 6pm at the Friends Meeting House.
The 96-minute film tells the story of a community in Walthamstow that set about making their street independent of the electricity grid.
A spokesman for Extinction Rebellion said: "Power Station began in the depths of lockdown - and in the aftermath of our previous film Bank Job, where we purchased and blew up £1.2 million of local debt - with the question ‘what could we do from where we live, with the people around us, to build power - of energy and imagination?'

"Working to turn a street and local schools solar, Power Station is a scalable in-your-face prototype of community-led power.
"From sleeping on rooftops to growing thousands of sunflowers and attempts at Christmas number one, community spirit and resilience are at the heart of this documentary."
Entry is free, with suggested donations of £5 or whatever attendees can afford.
