a battle of david versus goliath. the 24 year old roman is ready to climb up to his current home. he has been living in a tree house in the forest for the past month. and that's not 1st of all, i look for that, and that's how it feels, deeply happy in the woods ever since i've got here. i've also felt fully grounded, but a part of this forest is to be cut down to expand a factory that is building climate friendly electric cars. a contradiction says roman who is set to start his master's, specializing in environmental protection. he and others are occupying the trees as a form of civil resistance to tesla. many of the active as cover their faces when the cameras are on. roman's name is also only an alias. test size. this

test is graded, selling what they're doing as a solution, is the green alternative to what we already have. we can't afford to carry on this way and that's when it's like a long term lot to everyone will be able to have a car come over. as long as it's because in time sheet on auto hub. ready ready ready wire parts of as far as the danger that's run through it. in 201911, most adults. but tesla would be coming to green height of a small town, just east of berlin. most bought land from the state of brandenburg to build a mass of factory. this plant produces tesla's model. why? for the european and international market, a mid range s u v, which was the world's best selling car last year. currently, tests that produces around $300000.00 electric cars per year at clean hide and wants to more than tripled. this number of scaling, the production process would require tesla to expand the giga factory, knocking down a part of a forest for a logistics center and

a train station. this is some things we'd hide a resident model we, la jolla will not stand for. we met her because she found the local citizens initiative and is campaigning loudly against any further expansion. since day one, she's been fighting against the gig of factories, destruction of the environment as she calls that the young people living in the camp have become her natural allies. this on toys of us. it's great that so many young people are committed to preserving the forest and walter it is, why does this lots of? and that's why these are by it, most of this forest and the area up ahead is in the drinking water protection zone . the some goose entire i'm thing qualify for beach. not just the trees are a point of concern in the ground beneath live vital water supplies. if these were to be contaminated, tens of thousands of people might find themselves without drinking water. she fears
12:20 pm
this isn't comstock, it's a bottle of david versus goliath. it's a fight that just makes you feel powerless and angry. at times i went over locked in a recent poll held include a height of over 60 percent of citizens voted against the test. those plans to expand the planned, even though tesla, hudson scaled down its plans, the company is still set on expanding its facility. at least the notes here for these are size pops here. we are standing in front of this darned factory on the i want to tell you understand about the surveys showing the residents of gluten high to didn't want an expansion, idaho one. and we'll continue to fight. it again, can test or should stay on the site. that's already been ruined and not clear any more forest china invite the environment. would we want to your test left side of the story, but our interview requests go on, answered the company isn't from us for not replying to media or requests. however,
12:21 pm
what is known is that they've built a brand new industrial water filtration system. it allows the giga factory to recycle almost all of its industrial wastewater. but despite tesla's environmental efforts, the giga factory continues to face heavy resistance. in march, a power mask was set on fire. a radical left this group claimed responsibility for the attack which halted production at tesla 4 days costing the company millions. 11 musk called the group, the quote, almost eco terrorists on earth for stopping the production of electric vehicles and visited the plant include height of the attack was condemned by local authorities and mark the biggest escalation. so far we want to hear an expert's take on the environmental situation. i need water
12:22 pm
scientist, my team push. he says the area has been heavily impacted by climate change. and despite recent reins is usually one of the driest regions in germany. it's probably can be the usual to build a factory on a water protection area. people are worried about test. so now is all the body of water where the factory is located is one of the few we have in this region multiple, but it's, it's what you become polluted, that'd be nothing to replace it with a flip, some good friends of that. but the factory also has supporters among the local population. my name is i screwed up. my name is albert cooler and from green. hi to innovation in the future are important to me and i think it's important tim. good. the testing is here. i've list trula as part of the different
12:23 pm
citizens initiative together with his friend to be us live. he follows and documents the development of giga berlin. would be definitely, steve, a test that everyone's talking about. tesla includes tesla, also influence is everything through your testing and makes many decisions that provoke discussions we can do without god being can they say one of their goals is the bottom is information that has been pulled out by some of the test. let's opponents their initiative is they are to inform fellow citizens and enable affect driven debates, grounded on a scientific basis. they say, just like the protesters in the camp, they are also worried about climate change. is other than everyone always says electric cars can stop climate change on their own. that's true, but public transport can't either. nothing on its own can stop climate change. we need lots of different solutions and it is all. ready transportation is one of the world's largest contributors to carbon emissions. electric vehicles are seen as
12:24 pm
part of the solution by many tesla which specializes any of these is the world's most valuable car company. currently, there are 5 giga factories operating around the world. tests. let's get factory in germany opened in 2022 and is the only one in europe. test will make sure that this is a, a gemstone for the area for germany, for europe and for the wells of the plant has generated economic growth in the region around 12000. people currently work a test line between height alone. tesla is such a big name, even germany's chancellor old offshore showed up for the opening. the elect, a moving electron mobility will shape the mobility of the future. that is clear here today the clock.
12:25 pm
despite the support from the highest levels of government, the 9000 people actually living and we've hired to have very mixed opinions on tesla. the many people we met who refused to speak on cameras, said there was a tear running through the fabric of the town. families and friends are divided into separate comes some criticize tesla, others be active as judgment. yeah, i think it's a shame, but if it brings any benefits to going high to in the region, i'd say yes. and the other i was on went up to spike us, which i was basically in favor of tests are coming here. i still stand by that because it can only advance the region. i was actually a bit against expansion though, because i think they should use the space they already have 1st choices. you know, i'm not, i'm just rather than protesting, they should be trying to get one of the jobs tests was offering. how many members probably never worked a day in their lives, they should work for 48 years like i did. that entire will display about it's good
12:26 pm
for nothing's going. the, this is where 2 worlds flush on their way to work in the giga factory test. the workers have to pass by a t test lab protesters. very few of them ever stop at the info stands to chat with the actors. it's difficult for roman to find people to talk to. so it's just him and the car. it's up to a business. if anything is for you that has to be 5 years ago, i would have said testament, amazing or something. i'm on the line. and now i have a different opinion with alta point than not such a cough on these days. yeah, i think that we're simply spoiling a lot of opportunities with excessive individual transport. uh, fox news hall, so i told her own what does it say stuff tested.
12:27 pm
well filming in front of the main entrance, we are approached by a tesla employee, a hello english. and i just wanted to wondering what do you guys filming? what do you guys up to which outlet you are from? yes, i am from pesa or are you from the are so sorry to say we don't really have press department to test. so usually our policy is, uh, i mean everybody has their own rodeo, obviously, so they can do whatever they want. but we usually have this then that then nobody really talked to the press. roman says it will be difficult to find common ground. when asked what a solution could look like. he tells us the 1st step for him is to stop test was expansion. and then maybe some day to end the production of eaves and instead build trends buses and trains in what was once the test was giga factory. but it's not realistic. the must be the investigator
12:28 pm
search power behind it. one of the richest people in the world has decided this thing should go here and people eat out of his hand, the wife and i can, i don't have globally connected and the richest people in the world generally have much more leeway many more context. and we maybe have in our treehouse that would be on the bottom of the and so he's back in his world. that's so different from the joint giga factory, the, the forest seems to be peaceful right now. a while to fight against the tesla continuous of the
