Powerless is a film about India’s energy poverty and the people’s desperate measures to create functioning infrastructure. Electricity “thieves” divert power to homes and small businesses and come head-to-head with electricity supply companies.

This film envisions a restructuring of global power relations and calls for individual action in order to create a 100 percent renewable energy economy.

In this issue of Earth First! Journal Patrick Mitchell sheds light on the Endangered Species Act and the Californa gnatcatcher’s delisting from “threatened” status. In addition, Orin Langelle discusses revolutionary ecology, and Kieran Suckling calls for attention to the Queen Charlotte goshawk.

This film follows a woman who returns to modern, neoliberal Nicaragua to find the Sandinista woman soldier she filmed during the armed rebellion over two decades earlier.
