About this episode

The episode explores the early actions of Extinction Rebellion, focusing on their occupation of Greenpeace's office.

We follow Extinction Rebellion on one of its first ever actions. Before the rebels shut down London, before they became a household name, they occupied an office building in Islington. Their target? Not a fossil fuel company or government, but Greenpeace - perhaps the world’s most high profile environmental campaign group.
