Iowa's Dirty Secret: The True Cost of Burning Coal - Film Premiere

Through oversized logos on wind turbines and glossy flyers sent with their monthly bills, Iowans have been led to believe that their energy is clean. But in reality, MidAmerican Energy operates five coal plants across the state, part of the dirtiest coal fleet in the country.

Iowa's Dirty Secret: The True Cost of Burning Coal is a short film that examines the cost of coal through first-hand accounts shared by families who live near the coal plants, doctors who have seen the health impacts of coal pollution, and the advocates fighting for something better. 

Don't miss the premiere event of this film at The Varsity Cinema on April 30! Tickets are free, but reservations are required. After the premiere, Emma Colman of Sierra Club Iowa will moderate a panel discussion with Iowans featured in the film to discuss ways to get involved!
