Filhos do Vento: energia eólica e impactos socioambientais no Quilombo do Cumbe, em Aracati

Abstract

This technical report addresses the theoretical and technical ways used to produce the feature-length documentary “Filhos do Ventos: wind energy and socio-environmental impacts in Quilombo do Cumbe, in Aracati”, in which we seek to bring to light the impacts of installing wind farms with a specific cut for the social. Given this scenario, the product scrutinizes the consequences of relationships between residents of the community close to the project and workers who come from other cities to work on the construction of these wind farms. From these relationships, the "children of the winds" are born, a popular name given to children and adolescents who are children of these workers. The quilombola community of Cumbe, in Aracati (CE), is one of those that suffered most from the socio-environmental impacts resulting from the installation of these wind farms, in addition to being one of the first in the State of Ceará to receive these projects when we still did not have tangible examples of the consequences that the The implementation of wind turbines could have an impact on the daily lives of nearby communities. In this production, we talk about this impact, bringing as a background the history of the community's struggles, as well as an overview of the other socio-environmental impacts that the implementation of wind energy can cause. After all, wind energy is “clean” for who?
