About This Movie

Civil Disobedience (2023) peels back the layers of modern activism with an intimate look at three generations within Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil. The film’s observational style creates this raw atmosphere, letting the viewer absorb each moment, from the tension-filled roadblocks to the audacious ‘attacks’ on high-profile art and events. The pacing feels almost meditative at times, allowing reflections on the urgency of climate action to sink in. While the director remains unknown, the film's ability to capture the genuine passion and frustration of its subjects is striking. It’s a fascinating dive into how protest evolves, making you ponder the lengths people might go to for a cause they believe in.
