The Next Generation

The Next Generation
The damage being done to the environment will lay its most dire consequences at the feet of future generations, and they know it. An entire generation of young people stood up for their rights with the Fridays For Future movement, and these films champion their activism, determination and innovation. From the vocal protests of Greta Thunberg to the direct action of more radical groups, this season of films will encourage young people to question their place in the climate crisis and how they can become more involved.
