WHAT IGNITES, WHAT BURNS

Two teenagers decide that protesting against the man-made climate crisis is not enough. They plan an attack on an oil pipeline—and turn it into a podcast.
Miami and Dina emerge from a side street with backpacks slung over their shoulders. They squeeze through a metal fence. Suddenly, they’re on the grounds of a well-known refinery. In the past they never really saw themselves as activists. But now nothing can stop them—except a security guard. In a self-produced podcast, Miami and Dina explain why they came to the refinery and why this might be their last chance to make a difference.
