Occupy Fraport

Some eco-activists take on a multi-billion dollar corporation. To prevent the construction of a new runway, the activists occupy a forest near Frankfurt. Their goal: to stop the expansion by locking themselves onto trees.

A portrait of the refuge village, the activists and a seemingly hopeless struggle.
