In 1971 a small group of activists set sail from Vancouver, Canada in an old fishing boat. Their mission was to stop Nixon's atomic bomb tests in Amchitka, a tiny island off the west coast of Alaska. It was from these humble but brave beginnings that Greenpeace was born. Chronicling the untold story behind the modern environmental movement and with access to dramatic archive footage that has not been seen for over 40 years, the film tells the fascinating story of eco-hero Robert Hunter and his part in the creation of what we now know as the global organization that is Greenpeace.

An intimate portrait of the group’s original members and of activism itself—idealism vs. pragmatism, principle vs. compromise. They agreed that a handful of people could change the world; they just couldn’t always agree on how to do it.

Our watching-with-baby screenings are for parents/carers with young babies (up to one year) to enjoy a movie from our weekly film programme in the company of other parents and their offspring. The Cube provides an area for prams, baby changing facilities, lowered movie volume and extra lighting in the auditorium. There will always be a friendly Front of House on hand to help. Those of you without babies, are of course, more than welcome.
