Their names are Ridhima, Helena, Sixtine, Jamie, Marinel, Lilly, Melati, Elizabeth and Nicole. From Kenya to Ecuador, from France to the Philippines, they have taken up an ambitious crusade against climate change, and against the political and corporate world's climate apathy. From strikes to courts, from petitions to international conferences, they are doing everything in their power to stop the planet's devastation and build new forms of social and political life. Who are these young women fighting for their future? How did they become climate activists? Which hopes do they carry? In 52 minutes, Generation Greta interweaves the portraits of 9 young women from all around the world, aged 12 to 23, united in spite of cultural differences by one common cause: trying to finally achieve climate and social justice.
