Who is Greta Thunberg?
Thunberg is an 18-year-old Swedish climate activist. She is probably best known for her "How Dare You" speech, in which she addressed world leaders about the ecosystem.
In 2018, at just 15-years-old, she began striking from school over climate change, sitting outside the Swedish parliament to demand action on global warming.
What is Greta Thunberg: A Year to Change the World about?
The Swedish teen took a year off school to travel around the world to film the new documentary, in which she meets with some of the world's leading scientists to explore the consequences of global warming and climate change on future generations.
Thunberg visits places where climate change is being sped up, including Canada's growing oil industry and coal mines in Europe.
Speaking about her new documentary, she said: “It was an incredible experience and I’m so grateful to have experienced all of this and to have seen this from so many different perspectives. Everything from visiting and standing on a glacier which they say can no longer be saved. Things that you don’t really get to experience. It makes you feel like it’s real in a different way.”
