Don't trust, don't fear, don't beg : the extraordinary story of the Arctic 30
\"Melting ice, a military arms race, the rush to exploit resources at any cost--the Arctic is now the stage on which our future will be decided. And as temperatures rise and the ice retreats, Vladimir Putin orders Russia's oil rigs to move north. But one early September morning in 2013, thirty men and women from eighteen countries--the crew of Greenpeace's Arctic Sunrise--decide to draw a line in the ice and protest the drilling in the Arctic. Thrown together by a common cause, they are determined to stop Putin and the oligarchs. But their protest is met with brutal force as Putin's commandos seize the Arctic Sunrise. Held under armed guard by masked men, they are charged with piracy and face fifteen years in Russia's nightmarish prison system\"-- Provided by publisher.

Don't Trust, Don't Fear, Don't Beg
Russia's oil rigs to move north. But one early September morning in 2013 thirty men and women from eighteen countries--the crew of Greenpeace's Arctic Sunrise--decide to draw a line in the ice and protest the drilling in the Arctic. Thrown together by a common cause, they are determined to stop Putin and the oligarchs. But their protest is met with brutal force as Putin's commandos seize the Arctic Sunrise. Held under armed guard by masked men, they are charged with piracy and face fifteen years in Russia's nightmarish prison system. Ben Stewart--who spearheaded the campaign to release the Arctic 30--tells an astonishing tale of passion, courage, brutality, and survival. With wit, verve, and candor, he chronicles the extraordinary friendships the activists made with their often murderous cellmates, their battle to outwit the prison guards, and the struggle to stay true to the cause that brought them there.

Greenpeace the story
The creation of Greenpeace is probably the most exciting and heroic environmental adventure of the 20th century. Not only has Greenpeace literally invented the concept of ecology, it has also changed people's mentalities and international politics forever. Although powerful now, at the start it was just a small group of activists, motivated by their vision of a green and peaceful world. Created in 1971 with no resources, the small non-profit organization didn't scare anyone. The strategy? Direct action and shocking images are key to its success. Activists really grab people's attention by opposing governments, putting themselves on the line and sometimes risking jail or even death. Through unpublished archive footage and interviews of Greenpeace's top-protagonists, this documentary takes an in-depth look at the functioning and the strategy of the organization, and analyses the new challenges it has to face to intensify the pressure today.

Last yoik in Sami forests
In 2005, Saami reindeer herders made an alliance with Greenpeace and established a Forest Rescue Station in the wilderness of Inari. The international pressure from Greenpeace made Finnish forest company Stora Enso stop buying the wood from conflict areas. Kalevi Paadar, a Saami reindeer herder, lodged a complaint to the UN Human Rights Commission. He claimed that logging in his home village violated their right to continue their traditional way of reindeer herding based on free grazing. The UN asked Finland to stop logging. In 2007 Metsähallitus started logging again, this time in the wilderness of Kessi.

PATENTING HUMAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS IS IMMORAL AND ILLEGAL (IN EUROPE)
A German scientist, Professor Oliver Brüstle at the University of Bonn, filed for a patent on December 19, 1997, on neural precursor cells, the processes of their production from human embryonic stem cells, and their use for therapeutic purposes. The patent application claimed that the transplantation of neural cells into the nervous system is a promising method for the treatment of numerous neurological diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease. The patent was granted in 1999. Greenpeace filed a lawsuit with the German Federal Patent Court (Bundespatentgericht) on the grounds that the precursor cells were obtained from human embryos, which were destroyed
