The Swedish teen, most famously known for her “how dare you” speech, took a year-long break from her studies at school to film the documentary.
Followed by cameramen, Thunberg meets with some of the world’s leading scientists to explore the consequences of global warming and climate change on future generations.

“We cannot look away from this crisis anymore.”
