Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard 07/15/2011
It's always dramatically satisfying when film-makers become part of the story; in this case, it's also politically instructive. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 07/14/2011
3/5
Perhaps this is the future wave of activism. Go to Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) 07/14/2011
3/5
Not a film you'd seek out for real critical objectivity, but for the neo-hippie hurly-burly of being there at the barricades. Go to Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman 07/18/2011
2/5
Doesn't make for particularly scintillating viewing. Go to Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) 07/17/2011
The film is informative about the way they operate, but a good many questions go unasked. Go to Full Review Lisa Giles-Keddie Real.com 07/15/2011

02/17/2012 A film made on a small budget but told the stories of people taking real action to protect our climate against the corporations. See more 01/18/2012 I find eco-terrorist/climate activists to be insufferably smug and self-righteous. Maybe I'm a secret fascist. See more 08/14/2011 Activism in action; brave, honest filmmaking (& I enjoyed the director's live Q&A afterwards). I can't help feeling the real revolution is some way off, but can quote this for the second time today: "You must be the change you want to see in the world" - Gandhi. That says it all, but few are brave enough... See more 07/14/2011 A fun, decidedly one-sided look at environmental activism, that manages to be both frequently amusing and poignantly critical of contemporary establishment, without ever seeming pedestrian or unnecessary. Well directed and stylishly edited by Emily James, this memorable documentary calls to mind the thrilling excitement of last years environmental crime doc The Cove. See more Read all reviews
