Youth Unstoppable

COP26 youth stage reports

Lisa Rose, Head of Impact at Water Bear, the first interactive streaming platform dedicated to the future of our planet, talks to Jonathan Levy following the screening of their first Water Bear original at the Extreme Hangout: Youth Unstoppable. It’s a film 11 years in the making, which documents the struggles and events of the largely unseen and misunderstood Global Youth Climate Movement. At age 15, filmmaker Slater Jewell-Kemker began attending environmental summits, camera in hand, wide-eyed and ready to make a difference. What began as a single journey evolved into an intimate and challenging documentary shot behind the front lines of the largely unseen and misunderstood Global Youth Climate Movement. Seen through the lens of Slater’s camera, Youth Unstoppable documents the struggles, events, and first-hand effects on the youth fighting to be heard at home and within the frustrating and complex process of UN Climate Change negotiations. It culminates with the intense and defining events at the 21st UN Climate Change Conference in Paris, Youth Unstoppable shows us a powerful vision for the future of our planet and the young people who will lead us there. Five years later it is screened at the Extreme Hangout at COP26 in Glasgow. It can be viewed freely online at www.waterbear.com
