Synopsis

Waiheke Island, New Zealand could almost be considered the Greenpeace retirement village as members of the pioneering crew of the famous Rainbow Warrior ship settled there. These aging activists start to ponder what their efforts have achieved for the world as they look back on their adventures aboard Greenpeace's first vessel. The Rainbow Warrior was much more than just a ship--she was the symbol for an entire movement and a colleague in the fight for environmental justice. Here, we also take a look at the differences between protests of the past and contemporary campaigning.
