The world-famous climate activist, Greta Thunberg, began a one-person school strike that led to her appearing before the multinational UN climate summit and posing on the cover of Time magazine as Person of the Year, 2019. But what is this shy teenager, the most recent icon of the environmental movement, like when she's not in the spotlight? Nathan Grossman's documentary includes unseen footage of a timid girl, before she became famous for speaking courageously and directly to politicians. We see, with close and honest moments, a girl who finds it hard to fully integrate with her own peers.
