In 1971 a small group of activists set sail from Vancouver, Canada in an old fishing boat. Their mission was to stop Nixon’s atomic test bomb in Amchitka, Alaska. Chronicling this untold story at the birth of the modern environmental movement, How to Change the World accesses a dramatic archive footage unseen for over 40 years. The film centers on eco-hero Robert Hunter and his part in the creation of the global organization we now know as Greenpeace. Alongside a group of like-minded and idealistic young friends, Hunter would be instrumental in altering the way we look at the world and our place within it.
