RIFF Bílabíó – I Am Greta

Saga aðgerðarsinnans Gretu Thunberg er sögð í gegnum hrífandi og áður óséð efni í þessari persónulegu heimildarmynd eftir sænska leikstjórann Nathan Grossman. Grossman fylgir Gretu – feimnum menntaskólanema með Asperger heilkenni – við hvert fótmál og skrásetur vegferð hennar, allt frá eins manns loftslagsverkfalli hennar fyrir utan sænska þingið sem hafði þau áhrif að sambærileg verkföll voru haldin í skólum um allan heim.

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 justice 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 astonishing wind-powered voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to speak at the UN Climate Action Summit in New York City.
