'The Wind' celebrates the massive, but as yet untapped, potential of renewable energy resources in Europe in the 21st Century. It also highlights the very real dangers of climate change and the impact this is already having on people's lives throughout the world.

'The Wind' is a remarkable short film commissioned by Greenpeace and directed by Julien Temple with voices from John Hurt and Rachel Weisz and music by Primal Scream.

At dawn today three Greenpeace volunteers began their descent from the 180ft drillstack. The Greenpeace volunteers have maintained their occupation of the JET drillstar for over 24 hrs, successfully preventing it from going to sea to drill for more killer oil.

One of the three volunteer climbers just down from the rig said, "we spent most of yesterday positioned half way up the drillstack determined to prevent the rig from moving to drill for more oil, but as it started to get cold and dark we made our way further up the drillstack to join the six other climbers who had already made a safe warm base."
