FRIDAYS FOR FUTURE STOCKHOLM - A documentary

Click CC for subtitles. The Fridays For Future movement started with Greta Thunberg protesting alone outside the Swedish parliament due to the inability of the Swedish government to follow the Paris agreement. She was soon joined by other students that started school striking for the climate. This short documentary is about some of the people within the core group ahead of the national strike in Sweden on February 14th, 2020 and what it means to spend every Friday out of school and standing up for your beliefs.

The strike saw thousands of people marching in Stockholm with speeches by Greta Thunberg and researcher Alasdair Skelton, performances by Ison & Fille, Greekazo, 1.Cuz, and Janice.

Great to see how this movement has gained so much momentum over the past year or so. We just need more politicians to actually take it seriously now!

Hi Martin.. I have a language question.. Is the girl in 4:34 talking Swedish?
If yes then your accent is really weird.. Yours sounds like French or German 🤔 and hers sound like original hard nordic 💪..
Am not really know Swedish but its just sound.. Am I hearing right?
And not related thing.. Nice Swedish Norwegian comparison video :
