Will there be a future for all of us on Earth?
This question is at the center of the climate movement Extinction Rebellion, featured in the powerful documentary
Rebel for Life.
Inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh’s Plum Village community, the group’s
mission is radical systemic change through non-violent civil
disobedience. In this intimate portrayal of their dedication, the
activists display what it means to be committed to the future of all
life.
“I know, I can't unknow, that you are in peril, dear Earth, that we are
heading for an iceberg and that we don't have long to turn the huge ship
round and that most of your passengers are too busy soothing themselves
to notice.” This letter from activist Satya emanates the grief and pain
that these activists face in the wake of climate catastrophe, while at
the same time demonstrates her intense love and empathy for the planet.
Rebel for Life directed by Wouter Verhoeven is September’s Film
Club pick, available for subscribers now through the end of the month.
