The Light Won't Dim is a 30-minute documentary exploring the promise and urgency of solar power in a time of climate crisis. From Puerto Rico's Centro Buen Pastor, where solar panels became a lifeline after Hurricane Maria, to New York City schools and small-town rooftops, the film shows how communities are taking energy into their own hands. Featuring interviews with Senator Bernie Sanders and climate leader Bill McKibben alongside local leaders and experts, the film reveals both the obstacles and the unstoppable momentum of clean energy - a story of resilience, equity, and hope for the future. The Light Won't Dim is the official documentary of Sun Day, which consisted of over 500 events in 49 states on September 21st 2025, and multiple states and cities declaring Sun Day a holiday.

Transitions (OC)

We Can't See the Sunset is a short documentary by Open Secrets TV that exposes the human cost of South Africa's energy crisis and climate injustice. Through searing community testimonies, poetic reflection from Mine Mine Mine by Uhuru Phalafala, and insights from Open Secrets' investigation Who Has the Power?, the film reveals how profit-driven energy decisions harm both people and the planet. A haunting dream sequence - featuring a flickering candle and a dancer in the shadows - echoes the resilience of communities left in the dark, and their fight to reclaim the light.

We Can't See the Sunset (OC)

We Can't See the Sunset is a powerful short documentary blending poetic reflections, community testimonies, and investigative insights to expose how South Africa's profit-driven energy crisis fuels climate injustice, devastates lives, and sparks a determined fight for light.
