Synopsis
In 1971, a small group of activists set sail from Vancouver, Canada in an old fishing boat. Their mission was to stop Nixon's atomic test bomb in Amchitka, Alaska. Chronicling this story at the birth of the modern environmental movement and with access to archive footage unseen for over 40 years, the film centres on activist Robert Hunter and his part in the creation of the global organization now known as Greenpeace, which is structured by the five rules of engagement from Hunter's writings.

Reception

Dennis Harvey praised the film in Variety noting, "The goldmine of 16mm colour footage, whose propagandic value participants were quite cognizant of at the time, is in mint condition, showing the excitement and fun of the movement in its earliest days."[5] Kate Taylor from The Globe and Mail gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, adding that "Whatever you think of Greenpeace's less well-considered antics over the years, How to Change the World is a compelling story of one environmentalist's remarkable combination of prescience, grit and timing."[6] The Toronto Star wrote "Almost a "found footage" movie, it makes excellent use of 1,500 archived 16 mm reels supplemented with fresh interviews and some animation."[7]
