IN POST-PRODUCTION — COMING FALL 2010
Synopsis
Cape Wind is a feature-length documentary illuminating the divisive controversy of the Cape Wind Project — a proposal to build 130 massive wind towers five miles off the coast of Cape Cod in Nantucket Sound. The film translates the furor that exploded on Cape Cod into a definitive battle that will be replicated hundreds of times over as industrial-scale renewable energy projects are proposed for America’s deserts, ridgelines and waterways.
Cape Wind tackles the root causes of society’s inability to produce a large-scale solution to the global energy crisis it created, framing the events of the Cape Wind Project as a microcosm of America’s struggle toward sustainability and energy independence. It is a detailed exploration of the trials and tribulations of implementing a massive energy project and how a community of active citizens struggles to protect itself in these uncertain times.
