Before the Venice debut of 'I Am Greta,' documentarian Nathan Grossman shared what he learned about teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg while working on the project. 'I thought it would be a three-week shoot' for a short film, he recalled.

Back in August 2018, the Swedish documentarian heard from a friend about a teenager who had decided to stage a protest — a"school strike" — in front of the Swedish Parliament, demanding action on climate change.

he knew about this school kid interested in climate change, this Greta Thunberg, who was going to stage a school strike in front of the Parliament buildings in Stockholm. It seemed interesting. I'm an positive hype. It was a very tough year, very heavy and very frustrating for Greta. We see how the world may be ready to hear her message but it is not ready to act on her message. It shows theWhat do you think the media has gotten wrong about Greta Thunberg?

Once when we were shooting I asked Greta if there was anything she was worried about regarding the film, and she said"I'm a bit worried that I won't recognize myself in it." She felt sometimes she didn't recognize herself in the stories about her, that showed her as a one-dimensional icon. So I was so happy when I showed her the movie, and she said she recognized herself, that she recognized that year in her life.

The coronavirus pandemic has pushed the issue of climate change off the public agenda. Do you fear this film is coming out too late?
