Earthmovies Windfall Island - Screening & Discussion

Windfall Island is an award-winning documentary about a controversial windfarm to be built on Shetland. While it is supposed to be the most productive windfarm in the world, some local residents fight fiercely against the project.

Shetland is the windiest place in the UK and therefore a real asset for the Scottish Government to reach its ambitious climate change targets. But as the issue has largely divided the local community, the opposition group Sustainable Shetland challenged the project with a judicial review.

Is the project really environmentally sound and what are the impacts on the local community?

The film will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker and invited experts about the future of renewable energy in Scotland.

Music by Mike Vass
Producer, director, camera, sound and edit by Frederik Subei
