SYNOPSIS
In August of 2018, Greta Thunberg, a 15-year-old student in Sweden, starts a school strike for the climate. Her question for adults: if you don’t care about her future on Earth, why should she care about her future in school? Within months, her strike evolves into a global movement. Greta, a quiet Swedish girl on the autism spectrum, is now a world famous activist. The team behind Greta has been following the young activist from her very first day of school strike.
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
When I first met Greta in windy Riksgatan in Sweden, she talked to me and the people passing by with a weak stuttering voice. I was as surprised to learn that she was an activist, as I was taken by her powerful words. Pointing out how for decades we had done little to address the fact that our society uses the resources of several planets but only has one. Greta talked about climate change and the environment in such a logical way and I instantly felt that I wanted to get into that mindset. I sat myself down with a will to make the camera perceive the world as she did, creating a story about her world. I thought it could be something small, maybe a coming of age story for the Swedish election? I was so wrong.
