Why would scientists step outside their lab and risk arrest to save the planet?

2 cinematographers followed Scientists in action and in court to find out.

They need our help to finish their short film. Any contribution even small is appreciated.

A judge claiming it'd be a 'criminal offence' for jurors to apply their conscience to their verdict is not only a disturbing indicator that he doesn't respect the rights of juries, it's also a deeply worrying attack on all of our rights to a fair and moral trial. #DefendOurJuries

Today scientists came back to parliament to talk to their MPs about New Oil&Gas.

Not JSO, not the International Energy Agency, no Scientist, not the UN. No one!🧵
