Freshly minted Time Magazine Person of the Year 2019 Greta Thunberg is the subject of a documentary set to premiere on Hulu next year.
According to Deadline, the team behind Greta (original title) has been following Thunberg since her early school strikes, chronicling the teen’s global fight for climate justice.
Thunberg went from plaited protester to ponytailed phenom in just one year, inspiring students (and adults) across the world to combat climate change and build a better future.
Since August 2018, she has spoken at TEDxStockholm, addressed the United Nations Climate Action Summit, and given a talk to the World Economic Forum at Davos.
In March, she was nominated as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, and last week became the youngest recipient of Time‘s Person of the Year accolade.
Thunberg is not a leader of any political party or advocacy group. She is neither the first to sound the alarm about the climate crisis nor the most qualified to fix it,” Time wrote about Thunberg. “She is not a scientist or a politician. She has no access to traditional levers of influence: she’s not a billionaire or a princess, a pop star, or even an adult.
“She is an ordinary teenage girl who, in summoning the courage to speak truth to power, became the icon of a generation,” the article continued. “By clarifying an abstract danger with piercing outrage, Thunberg became the most compelling voice on the most important issue facing the planet.”
The world (er, Hulu subscribers) will get an up-close-and-personal look at this unlikely hero in 2020.
Greta vs Climate (working title) is produced by B-Reel Films and directed by documentary filmmaker Nathan Grossman.
According to IMDb, the movie is currently in post-production, set for release in Sweden. There is no word when, or even if, it will be available in the US.
