Greenpeace : les commandos de l'écologie

For a quarter of a century, Greenpeace activists have been making life difficult for governments and for the nuclear power industry in particular. An outgrowth of the Hippie movement and part of the coalition that opposed the Vietnam War, the environmental movement has set up an efficient and spectacular organization. Its rubber Zodiacs harassing cargo ships transporting nuclear waste, its commando actions against air and underground tests of nuclear weapons, and its efforts to stop whale hunting, plus the incident in New Zealand ten years ago, when members of the French secret service sank the Rainbow Warrior, are some of the worthy feats to which this organization can lay claim. Greenpeace has always exploited the publicity value of its aggressive operations and has usually filmed them as well. This film will undertake a far reaching, investigative look at the "Greenpeace approach". It will objectively explore its history, its finances, its exclusive archives, its networks, and its future actions.
