Rebellion + Q&A with co-director Maia Kenworthy
Director: Maia Kenworthy, Elena Sanchez Bellot (United Kingdom, 2021, F-Rated)
Certification: 15 | 1 h 23 min | Documentary | Language: English
Rebellion is the first feature-length documentary to tell the behind-the-scenes story of Extinction Rebellion, following a group of unlikely allies as they come together to confront the climate and ecological emergency.
In the decade after the Financial Crisis, action on climate change slipped right down the political agenda. In 2018 a new group emerged, Extinction Rebellion (XR), with a bold tactic to break through the deadlock: mass civil disobedience.
Rebellion follows the journey of XR co-founders as well as Farhana Yamin, an international environmental lawyer who played a key role in negotiating the Paris Climate Agreement, as she decides to break the law for the first time in her life. After decades of UN climate negotiations, Farhana is determined to sound the alarm and see governments act.
The film will be followed by a Q&A session with co-director Maia Kenworthy who will be travelling to Trowbridge to share the experiences of making this documentary!
