A group of ordinary people stop playing by the rules, embracing civil disobedience and sounding the alarm for climate breakdown. They are rebellious and they are flawed revealing the human drama at the heart of social change.Through a journey that starts with Extinction Rebellion (XR) in 2018, we meet environmental lawyer Farhana Yamin. Disillusioned after 25 years of UN negotiations, Farhana has decided it’s time to break the law.

Reviews
[A] thoughtful, spirited documentary...
Too kind to XR’s bourgeois impulses, it neglects key characters and weaves an all-too-convenient narrative.
Rebellion is a thoughtful, emotionally engaging feature doc not to be missed.
It is hard to think of a social movement that has caused such a generational stir as XR has. This is a worthy document about how that fuse was lit.
Rewarding... as a collection of human stories.
The documentary winds towards a polemic of the draconian police, crime, sentencing and courts bill seeking to boot sticky-handed XR types off the street. I’d love to have heard one sympathetic interview with an officer. Was no one available? No vox-cops?
