HYPERSCALED

Directed by Maya Estrera

Increased energy and water demands from the seemingly overnight rapid development of large data centers, and driven by technological advancements like AI, are increasing threats to communities across the Southeast, including Alabama. HYPERSCALED unearths the real-world cost of AI as residents fight to get answers about the environmental, community, and other costly impacts of this water and energy sucking industry. Much like a vampire, the proposed “Project Marvel” is projected to consume unprecedented amounts of water and energy – right in their backyards.
