Our Power
1h 0m Documentary, Enviromental 2018

A powerful portrait of the Latrobe Valley’s fight for renewal as a coal community confronts loss, change, and the challenge of a sustainable future.

Our Power tells the story of Victoria’s Latrobe Valley, a community that kept the lights on for 90 years through coal energy. After privatisation and the catastrophic Hazelwood mine fire, residents are left to face the human and environmental cost of industry collapse. United by resilience, they confront the question… how do you rebuild when the future must be greener?

Rialto Recommends: Our Power. A deeply human story of courage and transformation. Our Power captures the spirit of a community once defined by coal, and now redefining itself through hope, unity, and sustainability. Essential viewing for anyone who believes change starts at the grassroots.
