Greenpeace
is one of the top environmental organizations, and it does not compromise with
the fossil fuel industries as have some of the big greens. The film
tells the story of the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise, which sailed to the
Arctic in 2013 to protest Russian oil drilling within the Arctic Ocean.
The entire group of activists and crew of the ship were seized at gunpoint by
Russian special forces and held in a Russian jail. The "Arctic
30" gained international attention as environmental and human rights
leaders from around the world called for their release. BLACK ICE is an intense
portrayal of this drama, filmed live during the protest and arrests.
Email to anorthc@aol.com to be placed on the Friends of Peace email list.
