Actor and environmentalist Robert Redford will introduce his new documentary, Fighting Goliath: Texas Coal Wars, at 7:30 p.m. March 27 at the Wortham Theater Center.
Redford also will participate in a panel discussion following the 30-minute film, which is being presented by the Progressive Forum.
Panelists include Houston Mayor Bill White, former Dallas Mayor Laura Miller, attorney Steve Susman and other Texans who appear in the movie, as well as Mat Hames, the film’s director and John Hofmeister, president of Shell Oil Co.
Fighting Goliath follows the efforts of the Texas Cities for Clean Air Coalition, which was formed in 2006 to oppose 18 new coal-burning power plants in the state. TXU Corp. withdrew eight of the 11 permit applications shortly before the case went to court, when it was announced that shareholders would sell the utility to private equity firms.
The film was first screened last year at a mayor’s conference sponsored by the Redford Center at the Sundance Preserve.
Tickets start at $14 and include a DVD of the film. They are available at 832-251-0706 or www.progressiveforumhouston.org.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
