When The Wind Blows

When the Wind Blows is a 3 × 30-minute documentary series exploring how Europe’s rapid expansion of wind energy is reshaping landscapes, economies, and communities. As the continent accelerates its green transition, wind power sits at the crossroads of climate urgency, local resistance, ecological concern, and geopolitical ambition.
Filmed across Poland, Spain, Belgium, and France, the series follows the lifecycle of the wind industry — from development and construction to operation and end-of-life — revealing how energy policy becomes lived reality. Through immersive cinematography, we move from turbine towers to ocean depths, ports, villages, and homes directly affected by this transformation.
In Poland, former coal regions confront mine closures and uncertain futures. In Spain, biodiversity and fragile ecosystems collide with renewable expansion. In Belgium and France, offshore wind pioneers face a new phase: dismantling and recycling aging turbines alongside fishing communities who have lived with wind farms for decades.
Blending intimate stories with wider socio-political insight, the series portrays Europe’s green transition as a complex negotiation between industry, environment, and society.
