2019 was the year that sixteen-year-old Swedish teenage climate activist, Greta Thunberg became a global icon. From inspiring climate change activists around the world, to dressing down a roomful of world leaders publicly at the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York, to finishing the year as the TIME magazine person of the year, it was quite the roller coaster.
Yet, all of it started from her hometown in Sweden. I am Greta, the sleek yet intimate Hulu documentary recognises this origin story. Director, Nathan Grossman who spent a greater part of two years trailing Thunberg and her family, takes it right back to her 2018 weekly climate change hunger strikes which started outside her country’s parliament building.
