It begins on the fringes of power: a group of teenagers protest outside parliament, cardboard signs in their hands and an unyielding determination in their eyes. From there, Helena Molin’s long-term portrait unfolds – of a generation forced at an early age to understand the ruthlessness of politics. The fight for the climate and for justice runs parallel to a life that should be about friendship, play and dreams for the future, but which is repeatedly disrupted by the failures of the adult world. The result is an intimate and moving portrayal of what happens when moral responsibility is placed in the hands of those who are still searching for their place in the world.

Strejkarna is the previously untold story of the collective that launched the youth-led climate movement – Fridays for Future.
