Summary
Democracy prevails when a nuclear engineer turned whistle-blower, a 93-year old grandmother, and a scrappy new governor join forces with a dedicated array of citizen activists to accomplish a rare grassroots environmental victory in closing an aging nuclear reactor in Vermont. This documentary chronicles the heated political battle to close the aging Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant, located on the banks of the Connecticut River in southern Vermont. POWER STRUGGLE follows the unfolding drama as citizen activists and elected officials - alarmed at increasing safety violations-took on the federal government and one of the biggest nuclear power companies in America to call for closure of the reactor when its original 40-year license expires. Official Selection at the **Vermont International Film Festival**
