I Am Greta

2020 · 97 min

An intimate, earnest portrait that follows a quiet teenager into the global spotlight, balancing hope with the weight of her message.

Tagline: A force of nature.
Overview: Greta Thunberg, a 15-year-old student in Sweden, started a school strike for the climate as her question for adults was, if you don’t care about my future on earth, why should I care about my future in school? Within months, her strike evolved into a global movement as the quiet teenage girl on the autism spectrum becomes a world-famous activist.
