Power Play World Premiere Screening Event Details

Film Synopsis 

The world is at a crossroads. Energy demand is soaring. Climate disasters are intensifying and insurance costs are skyrocketing. And global divisions are deepening. Instead of coming together to confront these challenges, societies are growing more polarized—left vs. right, energy security vs. climate action, transition vs. tradition. With the stakes higher than ever, can we still find common ground—or are we already too late?

As the race for energy accelerates, driven by the rise of AI and the electrification of everything, we are pushing energy needs into uncharted territory. Massive data centers—some the size of entire cities—are being built to power the AI revolution, consuming staggering amounts of electricity, while millions worldwide still live without reliable power. For years, global leaders promised that a transition to renewables and nuclear would solve the climate crisis. But in this new era, that vision is under pressure. Is it time to move beyond the old model? Is it time to stop talking about energy transition—and start talking about responsible energy addition?

The demand for more energy is inevitable. The question is whether that demand will drive climate collapse—or spark bold innovation and clean investment? Can we scale up responsibly, or will we sacrifice the planet in the name of progress?

POWERPLAY redefines the global climate conversation. Featuring experts, researchers, innovators, and industry leaders from around the world, this documentary explores the collision between politics, technology, and humanity’s energy future. Through cutting-edge innovation, bold policy, and deeply human stories, it asks: Can we build a future that works for everyone—or are we clinging to solutions that no longer fit the crisis? The battle for our planet has begun. The outcome will shape the next century—and the lives of generations to come.

Everyone who is interested is welcome and registration to the Summit is required to attend.
