This is a scene from film released last year about Greta Thunberg. 

In 2019, she was invited to New York to speak at a big meeting about climate change. She decided to go.

But there was a problem: Greta does not travel on planes.

Instead, she began a two-week journey across the Atlantic Ocean in an eco-friendly yacht.

Greta became famous when she skipped school to protest for climate action when she was 15. The film follows her life since then.

At some moments in the movie, Greta is mocked by powerful world leaders like Donald Trump. She ignores the bullies and keeps fighting.

Some people think her success is because she is authentic. She is not interested in fame or money. She just wants to save the planet. 

Some say  

No. Lots of the people we admire in today's world are not authentic at all. Celebrities are just creations based on what fans want. 

Others think 

Yes! People trust Greta because she is honestBeing truthful in what you say and do.. Lots of celebrities used planes to get to the meeting in New York. Greta went in a boat so she did not harm the planet.
