Greta Thunberg

Greta Thunberg, climate change activist and school strike instigator, has been called a “spoilt brat”, “naïve” and “precocious”. She’s been told to “shut up” and accused of terrifying children. At the same time, she is a cultural icon. Thunberg was nominated for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize, has won numerous awards, and audiences around the world hang on her every word. Known for her defiant language, Greta has galvanised a generation and amassed an assortment of detractors all out to discredit her. This film invites culturally provocative contributors to examine Thunberg's social importance, her impact, and what her critics say, in a tantalising exploration of a ‘little girl’ who refuses to sit down and be quiet.
