Exempt 2020 Film
  • Documentary

In 2019 students across the globe took to the streets demanding immediate action to avert cataclysmic climate change. The Rebel Film Collective documented a group of Kiwi teenagers preparing for the protest in New Zealand, capturing their hopes and struggles. As organisers Helena, Sophie and Luke bring the Aotearoa School Strike 4 Climate (SS4C) movement together, a painful truth emerges; climate change has a disproportionate effect on indigenous people. Kiwi-Pasifika poet Aigagaleifili Fepulea'i Tapua'i forms a breakaway group to ensure the effect of climate change on Pacific nations is acknowledged.
