'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.
