Your support makes all the difference.The first UK trailer for the highly anticipated documentary I Am Greta has been released.
I Am Greta focuses on the teenage Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, whose school strike in 2018 launched a global environmentalist movement.
The film, which arrives to UK and Irish cinemas in mid-October, recently debuted as part of the Venice Film Festival earlier this month.
Filmmaker Nathan Grossman and producers Cecilia Nessen (Bergman: A Year in the Life) and Fredrik Heinig (Midsommar), compiled the film, which takes a behind-the-scenes look at Thunberg’s life and work.
Previously unseen footage traces Thunberg’s journey from a politically minded schoolchild to the “voice of a generation”, culminating in her wind-powered trip across the Atlantic to deliver a speech before the UN.
Thunberg is also set to be the subject of a documentary series for the BBC, which was announced earlier this year.
The 17-year-old featured in the music video for the Pearl Jam single “Retrograde” in May, delivering a creative warning about the harm of climate change.
I Am Greta is out in cinemas from Friday, 16 October 2020.
