w. she's angry about the government's coronavirus policy she says it's having a devastating and disproportionate effect on the outs. this isn't bad it's totally illogical i think it's outrageous this unequal treatment but nothing's being done perhaps because people don't realize how many other people are either directly or indirectly dependent on musicians i'll mention. one major backing and. contrary to previous indications much has said she's not planning to swap the concert hall for political office but she does want to draw attention to the plight of artists but if nothing is done we have to find other ways to draw attention to ourselves oh it's has many faces we're not all violin players to pretend artists are not relevant is to refuse to recognize the capabilities of civilized humans people that just eat drink and buy clothes of.
8:47 pm
motor is also passionate about another issue racism within the classical music industry she wants equal opportunities for musicians regardless of ethnicity. i refuse to hide the fact that there is racism in the classical music business there certainly is and you have to act against it when you're a witness of that you have to speak out. i won't go into detail but i've always defended fellow musicians when necessary. but despite everything and as wolfy mortality loves her profession especially when she can immerse herself in a musical adventure like this one with john williams hedwig's theme from the soundtrack of harry potter conducted by the composer himself to defend said decision to play film music against criticism from purists child within specific at
8:48 pm
the john williams is able like all great composers to write in a way that feels easily accessible but when you examine the music more deeply you see how clever the harmonies are. how detailed the orchestration oil i can stick instrumental in the orchestra to one on as a theme or to brings joy to people with the music so what brings her joy. has been i just meant i'm a person he's relatively easy to please i'm happy when the sun is shining when i see a nicely covered leaf it doesn't take much to satisfy me i don't think. if there were a nobel prize for environmental activism surely 17 year old greater would be the youngest recipient 6 troughton

a young woman from sweden almost single handedly created a worldwide movement for climate change i am greater is a new documentary which follows teenage climate activists greater international crusade as the subtitle of the film she is herself a force of nature my movie scripts are. and i want you to panic. she's the iconic leader of the global climate strike mission to save the planet with emotional speeches that go viral around the world we are in the midst of a mass extinction. no one has really kind of addressed the urgency of it in a way which is so profound that talent that she has and kind of talking about this and understanding this issue and reading so much information that she does that's like a huge talent nathan grossman was on hands during the very 1st school strike his camera captured how great his message got more and more attention. first she was
8:50 pm
very shy but she had this very special way of speaking about the kind of climate change which was started shelley way of condensing it down from something that was hard to grasp to something very understandable within just a few months what started as a lone protest became a global youth movement fridays for a future the film i am pleased to traces her progress from a swedish school go to an internationally known climate activist grossman's camera shows the world from great has perspective an intimate subjective trait at our level. away from the limelight later is nothing like the formidable character the media see she's much more introverted playful sometimes miss g.d.'s and often alone . will suffer from but i have the film asks how great his condition has influenced her mission. we're so interested in
8:51 pm
understanding how kind of affects her way of thinking about the world and i think it's very central. in the film i also think it's very central to the way she kind of sees. grossman captured spectacular footage of greater and her father sailing to the u.n. plan. it. is all wrong. i am going to track the journey of a heroine at times. as if the future of the planet mentioned it on just one person . it's portrayed nevertheless. despite the pandemic writing the future is back on the streets young people are calling for change more urgently than ever connected to mean bag as. that film is on general in the next weeks coming out around the world. my colleague
8:52 pm
here to talk about that and other things it's received mixed reviews adrian yes it has does make for a very engaging coming of age movie against the background of global warming and the fridays futures protest but it is all rather familiar of course the narrative has inspired people around the world to get behind a very important cause and this film is an inspiring summary of the story so far but not much new instantly the swedish filmmaker who never made a documentary before initially started filming on a low quality format save on storage he thought he might be able to get a local news channel interested in the story how wrong he was now it's on the basis . there's another movie out. but this is a feature film this is paradise for the story of. it's one of the most expensive

8:54 pm
cast in the movie and it was shot in some of the original location and some found task think pictures of the rainforest and the destruction caused by the logging industry its nice boring story but once again there has been some criticism that it's a little kitschy bit too much the white savior mode in the film we see mantha heading the protests the protesters in tribal costumes but in reality we know that as we saw earlier they quite often were dressed in morton a clothing but nonetheless great adaptation of a very amazing true story. as always thanks very much. the jewish museum in frankfurt is to reopen after a 5 year riff costing 50000000 euros and with a completely new permanent exhibition show many personal aspects of jewish life it

8:57 pm
a lot of topics again we have to talk about racism and anti-semitism move than we did 10 or 20 years ago. and there's the question how can we counter this. i think it's very important that we impart knowledge and this museum does just that which is real because the greatest fear as is often said is ultimately the fear of the unknown. from arts and culture from the folks watching and until next.
