Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish activist whose sick burns might actually cause Donald Trump to rupture an artery, has captured the world’s hearts and minds as the determined face of a generation trying desperately to get adults to acknowledge and take action against the realities of climate change. Now, she’s finally getting the documentary treatment in a forthcoming film from Hulu that will trace her activism from the school strike in which she asked “If you don’t care about my future on earth, why should I care about my future in school?” to her recent appointment as Time’s Person of the Year. Sure, yes, give us her timeline, but also give Greta plenty of time to make fun of world leaders. [Deadline]
