Abstract
Climate change has increased the frequency of extreme precipitation events, such as the one in January 2011 in the Rio de Janeiro state mountains, causing thousands of landslides in the Córrego d’Antas drainage basin, in the municipality of Nova Friburgo. The development of the Córrego d’Antas Risk Management Network (RIMAN-CD)—which includes communities, education and research institutions, as well as the government—was a response to this process, aiming at a greater level of adaptation of the local population to climate change. A film on disasters was produced within the network. This paper analyzes the production of the film as a form of support to the development of a culture of disaster risk management and adaptation to climate change. The film is being produced collectively, based on an articulation of institutions, but it is a product made by the young people ahead of its technical development. It was observed that these youths are absorbing the issues of disaster risk management and climate change and are disseminating them to their families.
This article was made possible due FAPERJ’s financial support from and a post doctoral fellowship from CAPES.

Freitas and Coelho Netto (2016) have defined “Socio-environmental Disaster” as natural phenomena that cause losses and environmental damage, including in this term human values, economic, political and nature. It is noteworthy, however, that despite the natural threats, the society also interferes on a magnitude of a disaster when the society modify landscape without rationality. On the other hand, the magnitude of disaster is also a function of vulnerability of different actors from society to natural phenomena, resulting essentially socio-environmental disaster.
