Trailer for the documentary Walking the Line.
Is it possible to mourn the impacts of new alternative energy projects while celebrating the benefits they will have for future generations?
The Southwest Intertie Project, known as the SWIP line is proposed 501-mile, 500 kilovolt transmission line running between southern Idaho and the outskirts of Las Vegas, it's the perfect vision for moving wind and solar power from the vast expanses of upper states where it is generated down to the Southwest urban centers where it is needed.
Enter Adam Bradley, a record breaking "thru-hiker". His athleticism and experience make him the perfect candidate to walk the entire 501-mile SWIP line corridor and to report on his experiences. The Nevada Wilderness Project seizes upon this opportunity, following Adam as he takes the "SWIP Trip."
As the journey unfolds, it becomes apparent that Adam is far more than just an accomplished athlete; his thoughtful insights put a human face on a complicated issue. We all want and need renewable energy, but are we ready for the consequences?
