Madman & Luna Cinemas are very pleased to screen the important and timely the documentary I AM GRETA, which had its world premiere at Venice Film Festival and played at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The story of teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg is told through compelling, never-before-seen footage in this intimate documentary from Swedish director Nathan Grossman. Starting with her one-person school strike for climate action outside the Swedish Parliament, Grossman follows Greta - a shy schoolgirl with Asperger’s – in her rise to prominence, and her galvanizing global impact as she sparks school strikes around the world. The film culminates with her astonishing wind-powered voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to speak at the UN Climate Action Summit in New York City. (English with some Swedish)

“Nathan Grossman's glossy doc underlines the formidable achievements of teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg.” - Variety
“I Am Greta is a smoothly constructed view of a heroine in the making, and of how the world largely embraced and sometimes dismissed her.” – Hollywood Reporter
“Nathan Grossman follows the teenage visionary through her public, often painful evolution into a divisive figure.” – IndieWire
Limited Season: One week only commencing Friday 16 October @ Luna Leederville + Luna on SX
