Switch On: The Series Now Airing on PBS, Streaming Coming Soon

We're excited to announce the premiere of Switch On: The Series on PBS. Inspired by our acclaimed feature film of the same name, this compelling series explores the journey to bringing reliable and accessible energy to the developing world, highlighting both the benefits and challenges faced along the way.

In this thought-provoking 6-part series, Dr. Scott Tinker will cross Nepal with an environmental health scientist, studying people's transition from the most dangerous cooking fuel, killing millions a year, to the safest; visit Ethiopia's huge new hydroelectric dam and Kenya's largest slum, to see how Africa will power its people; venture into the ports and coal mines that support a growing Vietnam; and install a solar microgrid to bring electricity, for the first time ever, to the Arhuaco people of Colombia.

Don't miss this inspiring and thought-provoking series! Check your local PBS listings for air times, and for those who prefer to stream, Switch On will be available on PBS.org starting March 6. Join the conversation on powering the people and protecting the planet.
