The story of teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg is told through
compelling, never-before-seen footage in this intimate documentary from Swedish
director Nathan Grossman. Starting with her one-person school strike for climate
action outside the Swedish Parliament, Grossman follows Greta – a shy student
with Asperger's in her rise to prominence and her galvanizing global impact as
she sparks school strikes around the world. The film culminates with her
extraordinary wind-powered voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to speak at the UN
Climate Action Summit in New York City.
Critic Reviews:
- " Grossman's fly-on-the-wall approach is a perfect match for his
subject. Thunberg is not unselfconscious, but she has very little to prove, and
so her single-minded passion for her activism comes through in every word she
says. " – Alissa Wilkinson (Vox)
- " An enlightening documentary about a passionate young prophet for
eco-justice. " – **
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat** (Spirituality & Practice)
- " Her story – and the documentary telling it – is a tale of
perseverance, one that proves as inspiring as she is. " – Clint
Worthington (The Spool)
