9min 10sec cinefix clip - It's a Wonderful Life - What's the Difference?

text from youtube "If you love Frank Capra's holiday season classic, It's A Wonderful Life, then you're in luck! It's probably going to be on TV 24/7 for the next month or so.

1mkin 40sec @wef clip - The Greta Thunberg story

text from youtube "In August of 2018, Greta began protesting outside her school in Stockholm, saying climate change was more important than education for future generations. It wasn’t long before many others joined her and within months a global movement was born. By March, 2019, more than 2 million students in 135 countries were striking from school.

When Greta was invited to the UN climate summit in New York, she crossed the Atlantic in a zero-emission yacht. It’s been just 13 months since her first school strike in Sweden, she is now the world’s most famous climate activist."
