A group of young climate activists takes direct action against coal plants, banks, and airports, using their bodies and creativity to shut down business as usual. Over the course of one year, filmmaker Emily James follows five U.K. organizers as they blockade factories, glue themselves to trading floors, and occupy power stations despite constant risk of arrest. The film captures secret planning sessions, police confrontations, and the humor and exhaustion that fuel long-term resistance work.

This is an honest look at how everyday people sustain direct-action campaigns. It shows the tedious work behind bold actions—brewing tea during strategy meetings, managing fear before lockdowns, and navigating disagreements within the group. The activists are not celebrity heroes. Along the way, they rack up real wins: shutting down coal-fired stations, halting airport expansions, and forcing corporations to respond to climate demands.

The film is fast-paced and genuinely fun, exploring the emotional and tactical decisions that shape nonviolent resistance through satire, creativity, and bold risk-taking. By making civil disobedience feel accessible rather than extreme, it invites viewers to see themselves as potential actors in climate justice movements.
