How to Change the World + Panel Discussion
In 1971 a brave group of young activists set sail from
Vancouver in an old fishing boat. Their mission: to stop Nixon's atomic bomb
tests in Amchitka, a tiny island off the west coast of Alaska. It was from
these humble but courageous beginnings that the global organisation that we now
know as Greenpeace was born. Chronicling the fascinating untold story behind
the modern environmental movement, this gripping new film tells the story of
eco-hero Robert Hunter and how he, alongside a group of like-minded and
idealistic young friends in the '70s, would be instrumental in altering the way
we now look at the world and our place within it.
There will be a live event with an exclusive screening of the film, followed by
a satellite Q&A hosted by Mariella Frostrup, on Wednesday 9 September. The
panel will feature legendary fashion designer and long-standing Greenpeace
supporter Vivienne Westwood, director Jerry Rothwell, Robert Hunter’s daughter
Emily Hunter and other special guests to be announced.
