Environmental Cinema and Education in the Restinga de Jurubatiba National Park: Interdisciplinary and Transversal Reflections and Practices

ABSTRACT:

This study aimed at analyzing the production of documentary filmmaking in critical environmental education (EE) in the Restinga de Jurubatiba National Park. The study presents the methodology used for the production of four documentaries about the National Park, and the analysis of the speeches of the documentaries' characters. The National Park was featured by the characters for the contradictions in its creation, implementation and management, the existing barriers to sustainable local development and the socio-environmental conflicts. The documentaries were shown to be an important educational tool for EE in the creation of dialogue spaces about the relationship between society and the environment.
