This film is a joyful celebration of grassroots activism.” <o:p></o:p> Jim Murray MBE, actor & activist angler. “A brilliant, inspiring hopeful film that shows how powerful committed citizens can be.”<o:p></o:p> George Monbiot, journalist, author, environmental activist, Guardian columnist.<o:p></o:p>DocumentaryPT1H17M12A2026-08-05GBen
