In their efforts to curb the climate crisis and the destruction of nature, the rebels use their own bodies to block factories, production equipment, and streets. Clashes with the authorities are tense, and the rebels are sometimes thrown in jail, brought before the courts, and even subjected to violence.

Facing up to crisis, transforming yourself by overcoming a seemingly insurmountable threat, is THE archetypal story of human civilisation. But this time the threat is global and may prove fatal. Now that we understand more about what a ‘global crisis’ feels like, it can no longer be ignored. This is our opportunity to live life without lies, a life that offers both resilience and joy through the power of collective action. thetroublemakermovie.com
