About the film:
35000 WATTS charts the wild journey of visionaries and rebels on college campuses across America who changed the course of music history and made an indelible imprint on our culture.
This is the untold story of college radio brought to life by the students behind the mic and the bands they made famous. It’s the story of the youth and music culture that originated, and later flourished, on the airwaves of American colleges and universities, establishing a new generational voice and a new path to success for many alumni and artists.

Event is open to everyone although you must be 19+ to attend the pre-screening mixer at the Thirsty Moose Pub.
