I feel a target for police and security guards they don't want to be filmed
so yeah I've I've been attacked by the police attacked by security guards
um you know had them try to steal my camera that kind of thing is being devastated and if
we are not acting now everything is going to be a new coal mine in the 21st century is absolutely
insane we're talking about stopping climate change and at the same time you're giving into corporate
breeds finite is a Insider's view of the climate movement and it follows an alliance between two
communities fighting against coal mining in the UK and in Germany it's the story of what
what do people do when nothing else Works to to fight against corporate interests and to protect
our environment protect our communities I'm not an expert I'm a local person I've
[Music] been meters from the bottom of my garden in the activist scene there is this International
Community to just the networks of different campaigns and kind of people being welcoming
to each other having that that kind of this kind of shared values that shared vision and
passion for for what Society should be like the activists had these skills to bring all these
ideas that are kind of completely alien to the the ordinary person about how to build
contractions to lock yourself to something to make it really hard to be removed you know that's not
uh you don't see much of that in everyday life [Music]
it seems quite extreme those tactics but I think it's quite tame in comparison to
what's what's happening to our world I think that that risk is taken
by looking at the bigger picture of you know people are in danger all over the
world from from climate breakdown from the exploitation that our society is built upon
so I lived on the protest camps with the activists so I was kind of
always there when someone from the mining companies would show up or this kind of
a confrontation with the police and often I think they're just a bit confused about
who's this young guy with a camera that's always here often covered in mud because it must be
living on this camp where does he come from so I think there's probably an element of not
really taking it seriously in a way which might have perhaps given a slightly less
corporate response to you know my my questions I'll let the audience make up their minds
they just stop
Beyond just watching the film it's also an opportunity to get to know people
doing similar things in in the in the local communities where the film is showing so you
know how many documentary films do people watch and think you know you have this massive burden
of problems with the world and there's no real solution for what we can do about it
how we can proportionately come together welcoming more people into the communities
that are are trying to do something about it is is really empowering and yeah gives people hope
