Power Trip

[OperaHouse]

Just watched an obscure 2004 Paul Devlin documentary called Power Trip about the American AES purchase of the power grid in former Soviet Republic of Georgia. Faced with a post office that wouldn't deliver bills and 80% that wouldn't pay anyway, they gave up after several years and sold to the Russians. Great pictures of how to hack into the electrical system and modify meters. Entertaining unless you were an AES shareholder. Request it at your library.

Sounds interesting. I see that it's available on Netflix, so I just added it to my queue. Thanks!

I saw the movie on Link TV. Its facinating how some other parts of the world work (or don't).

Can't watch the trailer here at work, but it looks fascinating from the synopsis.
