Communities battle with opencast mines and the forces behind them. Inside the core of the climate movement, concerned citizens in England and Germany put their bodies on the line to save the ancient Hambach forest from being obliterated by RWE, Europe's biggest emitter of CO₂. Every year since the 1970s, a section of the forest has been cut by energy giant RWE in a bid to expand one of Europe's biggest coal mines. Now just 10 percent remains. Robin, Indigo and Clumsy are part of a secretive community of dedicated activists who have spent years living in self-built treehouses to halt the chainsaws. They are heading for a final showdown with RWE and the police to decide whether the forest is wiped off the map forever, or if the all-powerful fossil fuel industry can be stopped before we fall off the cliff of climate breakdown.
