(London) – The BBC said it will make a new documentary series with the teenage Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg, charting her life and exploring the science behind climate change.
“The series will follow Greta’s international crusade, which takes her to the front line of climate change in some of the most extraordinary places on Earth, as she explores what actions could be taken to limit climate change and the damage it causes,” BBC Studios said.
The series will see the 17-year-old meet scientists, politicians and business moguls, challenging them to make changes, the broadcaster’s commercial content arm added.
“The films will also chart her own journey into adulthood as she continues to be confronted by the real world consequences of inaction,” it said.
They will also “share some of the quiet moments as she writes the impactful speeches that are now broadcast and analysed around the world, as she lives a teenage life like no other”.
