Documentary-maker who filmed pro-Gaza activist Greta Thunberg laughing ‘Are they still doing that?’ at climate protesters desperately tries to defend her

A documentary has shown Greta Thunberg laughing after being told that a Fridays for Future climate demonstration was taking place in Berlin, saying, “Really? They still do that?” The clip prompted criticism online, and filmmaker Hubertus Koch has defended her, arguing that it was taken out of context and reflected her view that demonstrations and panel talks are no longer effective.

Koch said Thunberg now pursues other forms of activism, including civil disobedience and legal action. Fridays for Future began in 2018, when Thunberg was 15, and grew into an international youth climate movement. The article also describes her more recent public support for pro-Palestinian causes, including protests in London and aid flotillas bound for Gaza.
