In 1971, a group of friends set off from Vancouver to protest nuclear testing by Nixon’s administration in Amchitka, Alaska. They are sure their action will resonate with the whole world, and they will soon become the founders of the extremely powerful organization Greenpeace. From the birth of the movement to its implosion, “How to Change the World” covers four decades of the world’s most renowned NGO.

How to Change the World couldn’t come at a better time. At a time when the world is riveted by the terror attacks in Paris, where global warming are finally being taken seriously by the media, Jerry Rothwell’s movie offers a thrilling and informative look at the legend of Greenpeace, which remains a strong NGO more than forty years after its founding. Covering ties to the CIA, political distortion in the midst of the Cold War, spectacular collaboration by Brigitte Bardot, and the inevitable rift between old friends, How to Change the World traces the sensational and incredible journey of a once small group with a mission to save the world. It includes shocking images, astonishing revelations and above all rare and valuable archival footage that should be seen by everyone.
