Activism 2.0

Daughter of Greenpeace’s first president, filmmaker Emily Hunter embarks on a personal journey to find a new generation of activists. She goes underground with a group called ‘The Black Fish’ as they employ unconventional tactics to protect the Mediterranean Sea. Doing things differently, the activists attempt to track illegal fishing operations using controversial drone technology.
