Cape Wind: The Fight for the Future of Power in America is a feature length documentary written, produced, and directed by Robbie Gemmel and Daniel Coffin of Rebirth Productions in association with Sundance Channel. The film illuminates 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 which exploded on Cape Cod into a definitive battle which will be replicated hundreds of times over as industrial-scale renewable energy projects are proposed for Americas deserts, ridgelines and waterways.
Cape Wind tackles the root causes of societys 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 Americas 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.
