Synopsis

Greenpeace was founded on tight knit, passionate friendships forged in Vancouver in the early 1970s when a group of young pioneers - Canadian hippie journalists, photographers, musicians, scientists and American draft dodgers - set out to stop Richard Nixon's atomic bomb tests in Amchitka, Alaska and ended up creating the worldwide green movement. The film spans the period from the first expedition to enter the nuclear test zone in 1971 through the first whale and seal campaigns, and ends in 1979, when the founders, who had become victims of their own success, gave away their central role to create Greenpeace International. At the heart of that organization is Bob Hunter, a charismatic journalist who managed to bind together the "mystics and the mechanics" into a group with a single purpose, often at huge cost to himself.
