POWER TRIP Set in Tbilisi in the Republic of Georgia amidst the chaotic post-Soviet environment of pervasive corruption, political assassination and street rioting, culture clash, electricity disconnections and blackouts, the manager of a massive American power company, AES Corp., tries to train the formerly communist populace that, in the newly privatized world, customers must pay for their electricity. The Georgians, meanwhile, from meter readers to the Energy Minister, devise ever more clever ways to steal it.
