A feature documentary about the Cumbe Quilombo, in Aracati, Ceará, one of the first communities in the state to receive a wind farm, built on its land without consultation. It follows the "children of the wind", born to local women and the workers who came to build the parks, against the community's long history of struggle. Clean energy, the film asks: clean for whom?

Rogério is a very special person, and one of the most hardworking and talented people I've crossed paths with. He's imaginative, curious, resourceful, and a true team player. I recently asked Rogério to be the Technical Director on my upcoming XR film, because I deeply value his ability to balance compelling storytelling with refined technical skill.
