NINE-AND-A-HALF: FRIDAYS FOR FUTURE


Synopsis: This episode explores the story of young voices for change using the tools they have to be heard. Following the example of teenage Swedish climate change activist, Greta Thunberg, thousands of German school children are now taking Fridays off. They take to the streets to demand governmental action to stop global warming. The news magazine asks both the leaders of the student protests along with the politicians they hope to reach, important questions that get to the heart of the matter and find a solution.
