Pernambuco has expanded the Port Industrial Complex of Suape (PICS) with the installation of a petrochemical pole financed by the Growth Acceleration Program. This model of economic development is causing profound political, socioeconomic and cultural transformations, generating injustice and conflict reflected on the health and the environment of the population. This article examines these processes of vulnerabilization from the social representation of subjects who live and work in Suape. Action research was conducted, following the principles of the ecosystem approaches to health through field visits, and structured interviews systematized in six analytical categories using key phrases and central ideas of speech that resulted in the documentary Suape, development for whom? Eight cinema discussions were performed for validating the documentary and discussions about the problems experienced in Suape and about intervention strategies in defense of health were conducted. It is concluded that the documentary was an appropriate communication strategy for the vulnerable population because it made possible the development of thematic discussions on health, health surveillance and environmental issues experienced in the territory, in an enlarged and participative way, highlighting today and tomorrow’s dangers and inconveniences. The documentary also made it possible to sketch out a series of diaries of struggle in defense of health promotion and protection of the environment, expressed in the cinema debate.Downloads
