Documentary I Am Greta, according to Greta Thunberg, shows her “real self” and not “that angry, naive child”, she tells news agency Reuters. The documentary records the daily life of the seventeen-year-old environmental activist for a year.
The film follows the Swedish environmental activist from the start of her school strikes in Stockholm to her travels around the world meeting scientists and climate experts.
Thunberg appeared on Friday via a video conference from school at the premiere of her documentary in Venice. “You (director Nathan Grossman, ed.) Have succeeded in introducing me as myself and not as the person the media made me look like: the angry, naive child sitting in the United Nations general assembly yelling at world leaders. That’s not the person I am, “said Thunberg.
“I think he definitely made me seem more shy nerdy person. That’s who I really am. “In addition, the young environmentalist says the documentary debunks some allegations made by critics who say it is being manipulated by others.” Some people say I don’t think for myself or that someone else is writing my speeches. In the film you can see that that’s really not true. “
Documentary I Am Greta was shot by Grossman and shot in 2018. At the time, the director had no idea that Thunberg, who was 15 years old when she started her protest, would soon become the figurehead of the global climate crisis campaign.
