BBC Studios’ Science Unit will team with environmental activist Greta Thunberg for a documentary series focusing on the young activist’s international campaign.
The commercial arm of the British broadcaster announced the project at the BBC Showcase trade show on Monday, emphasizing Thunberg’s worldwide renown and busy travel schedule as key factors in the project.
What kind of documentary will it be?
While the series will follow the young activist as she meets with scientists and climate experts in order to explore possible solutions and workable courses of action, it will also approach the subject as a coming-of-age story, tracking the 17-year-old activists journey into adulthood.
