Maia Kenworthy and Elena Sanchez Bellot’s smartly constructed film tracks the origin, intentions and successes of Extinction Rebellion as well as detailing its internal issues and personality clashes. It is a story of passion, frustrations and ambition and displays how non-violent civil disobedience can have a massive impact, but also how organising such a body can offer as many challenges as successes. The film focuses on the events of 2019, but also takes a step back to recount how Extinction Rebellion was formed with interviews with two of the co-founders, Gail Bradbrook and Roger Hallam. — Climate justice has emerged as a cornerstone of movements that either sprung out of, or were influenced by, Extinction Rebellion, and this film does an impressive job of charting a remarkable period of time when ordinary people took a stand and demanded to be heard.

Kenworth and Bellot were granted intimate access to the inner world of XR from its earliest days and the swift development of a group dedicated, under the leadership of Roger Hallam, to non-violent direct action and a policy of deliberately seeking members’ arrests to increase media coverage, makes for fascinating viewing. — Rebellion skilfully follows both the public actions and inner tensions of XR.
