For a few days in 1990 the small town of Monterey, Massachusetts found itself the center of national attention. Monterey was chosen to represent the Commonwealth in an International Energy Conservation Contest – to see which of a 13 New England and Canadian towns could see the most electricity over one weekend.<\/p>\n

“Monterey Lights The Way” is a television documentary that captures that brief period of purpose and possibility as people from different places, with greatly varying points of view find common ground.<\/p>\n

“Monterey Lights The Way” features Millie Walsh, the Monterey Fire Company, Ray Tryon, Rev. Virgil Brallier, Peter Murkett and Michele Miller and Mickey Friedman.<\/p>\n

It was shot by John MacGruer and co-produced and directed by Mickey Friedman and John MacGruer. It was funded in part by The Massachusetts Foundation for the Humanities and Public Policy. It was a co-production of WGBY-TV and aired on PBS stations.<\/p>\n
