PLOT SUMMARY: This movie presents the situation that some rural populations are experiencing. In this case, the town of Lopera in Jaén is a clear example of inadequate management and implementation of renewable energy with a lack of social consensus that has led to a series of forced expropriations.

In Lopera, a small town in Jaén, the promise of ecological transition turns into a nightmare. Centuries-old olive groves, the legacy of generations of farmers, are being uprooted to make way for massive photovoltaic plants, in an unfair battle between powerful corporations and a community fighting to protect its land.

Through firsthand testimonies, striking visuals, and an in-depth analysis of the current energy model, Forced Renewables exposes how progress, when poorly planned and disconnected from rural life, can become an unprecedented ecological, social, and economic disaster.
