A boy in rural Canada learns the forest he loves will be chopped down, so he scales one of the trees and refuses to leave. As an adult, he scales the CN Tower in Toronto – then the world’s tallest building – to protest against the destruction of the climate, and is escorted down in handcuffs. He rejects owning a car, cycling through the pounding rain, sleet and ice of a Quebec winter. A local newspaper calls him “Green Jesus”.
