Plot summary

It is in times of crisis that we find out what really matters to us, that we get to discover who we really are, as individuals and as a society. Now that we understand more about what a 'global crisis' feels like, it can no longer be ignored. This is our opportunity to find a radical way to kill off our old selves and to live anew. 'The Troublemaker' delves deep into the ideas and emotions behind the international wave of civil protest, born in the face of the unfolding planetary crisis. The film follows the personal awakening of two people as they learn to accept the reality of climate breakdown and ecological collapse and decide to do something about it. Through the eyes of a visionary leader who started a rebellion, and a previously law abiding citizen inspired to take action, 'The Troublemaker' aspires to stir the audience from a passive resistance based around 'consumer choices' and 'voting allegiances' to a life affirming defence of our future, invigorated by direct action and collective participation.
