The Little Town That Could

Q&A with filmmakers Susan Todd and Andrew Young

Ordinary people are building a new emissions-free future in the Hudson Valley community of Croton-on-Hudson—one heat pump, solar canopy, and electric school bus at a time. As neighbors and local government transform their town into New York State’s #1 Clean Energy Community, a climate group celebrates each step of climate action with beautifully colorful quilts. From Emmy-winning, Academy Award–nominated filmmakers Susan Todd and Andrew Young (Backyard Wilderness, Netflix; Lives in Hazard, NBC).

Followed by a reception in the Take 3 Wine Bar and Café.

Presented with Community Partner:
