Wind power. Clean, efficient, renewable, perfect…or so you thought. “Windfall” is the story of a community torn asunder by the not-so-gently blowing breeze. First-time director Laura Israel discovers a wholly surprising and troubling trend in the wind turbine farms springing up across the Northeast.
Battles surge among friends, neighbors and family members over the giant turbines erected on their properties. Israel also touches on threatening health risks, dwindling property values and the controversial environmental value of the farms. In a world struggling to come to terms with its growing energy needs and dependence on foreign oil, wind power seems a viable alternative. But as you will witness in this stirring documentary, the answers are not always so simple. (Michael Burke) |
