Greta Thunberg's Comments on the Film's Release

All we ask of society is that we recognize climate change as a crisis and protect our safe future. If you watch the film, you'll understand just how far we are from achieving this goal, and how the scientific message that "time is running out" is completely missing the point.

■Synopsis of "Greta"

In August 2018, 15-year-old Greta began her school strike by sitting alone in front of Stockholm's parliament building to protest the government's indifference to climate change. Holding signs she made herself, Greta handed out leaflets, and patiently answered questions from passersby. This weekly Friday movement, dubbed "Fridays For Future," gradually gained traction with young people around the world. Within months, what began as a solo strike had grown into a major movement that spread both domestically and internationally. Later, in 2019, Greta further attracted global attention with her tearful and powerful speech at the Climate Action Summit held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
