Bigger Than Us

IMPACT DAYS

For six years, Melati, 18, has been fighting the plastic pollution that is ravaging her country, Indonesia. Like her, a generation is rising up to fix the world. Everywhere, teenagers and young adults are fighting for human rights, climate, freedom of expression, social justice, access to education or food. Dignity. Alone against all odds, sometimes risking their lives and safety, they protect and fight for the others. The Earth. And they change everything. Melati goes to meet them across the globe. As everything seems to be or has been falling apart, these young people show us how to live. And what it means to be alive today.

Impact Statement
BIGGER THAN US is more than a film. It is a tool to gather around the only question that matters: and now what do we do ? We want to flip the narrative about change and activism, activating and empowering the Youth and those that support them.
