More about the 2022 Southern Exposure edition

Created during the summer, the Southern Exposure films celebrate special people and places in our state while exploring complex issues and solutions. In the 2022 collection, audiences will learn who is winning at the game of electric utility monopoly and how simple legislation and more civic engagement could create more renewable energy choices for Alabamians.

This summer three of the Southern Exposure films were featured at the prestigious Sidewalk Film Festival in Birmingham. They have also been featured in many film festivals across the country such as:

• EarthX
• Wild & Scenic Film Festival
• World Water Film Festival
• American Documentary and Animation Film Festival,
• Maine Outdoor Film Festival
• Colorado Environmental Film Festival
• DC Black Film Festival
• + more.

The films were recognized with several awards including Best Advocacy Film at the World Water Film Festival, hosted by Columbia Climate School, Columbia Water Center at Columbia University.

“In addition to informing and entertaining their widespread audiences, Southern Exposure films have often catalyzed key outcomes for Alabama’s environment. I love collaborating with the Birmingham Public Library and Alabama Rivers Alliance to share these films throughout Birmingham.”

Charles Scribner, Executive Director, Black Warrior Riverkeeper
