Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard It's always dramatically satisfying when film-makers become part of the story; in this case, it's also politically instructive. Jul 15, 2011 Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) Rated: 2/5 Jul 15, 2011 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Perhaps this is the future wave of activism. Rated: 3/5 Jul 14, 2011 Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman Doesn't make for particularly scintillating viewing. Rated: 2/5 Jul 18, 2011 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) The film is informative about the way they operate, but a good many questions go unasked. Jul 17, 2011 Full Review Lisa Giles-Keddie Real.com Just Do It inspires a whole new ethic when we feel our hands are tied on a daily basis. But however outraged we might feel ... all depends on your situation in life Rated: 3/5 Jul 15, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A film made on a small budget but told the stories of people taking real action to protect our climate against the corporations. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member I find eco-terrorist/climate activists to be insufferably smug and self-righteous. Maybe I'm a secret fascist. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member 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... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
