Understand - Ten Fights That Made the Green Movement: 1. Rebellion
Download Ten Fights That Made the Green Movement: 1. Rebellion
We follow Extinction Rebellion on one of its first ever actions. Before the rebels shut down London, before they became a household name, they occupied an office building in Islington. Their target? Not a fossil fuel company or government, but Greenpeace - perhaps the world’s most high profile environmental campaign group.
