When the UK government ignores mounting evidence for climate breakdown, a group of scientists turn to civil disobedience to warn the public themselves, risking arrest, a criminal record and their professional reputations.
A window into the world of reluctant activism, Plan Z explores the power of protest when established routes of influence fail.
"It possibly looks extreme or crazy or a bit mad. For me, this is a plan Z, everything else has been tried."

SCREEN
Why are scientists breaking the law for climate change? And what would it take for you to feel – and act – the same way? Plan Z challenges many of the assumptions surrounding disruptive climate protest by exploring the ethics and human instincts behind it that are common to us all.
Combined with a Q&A or discussion session, Plan Z makes a perfect hour-long programme for your society meeting, lab retreat or school/college study period.
