A BBC series documents a Greenpeace protest against a Russian oil platform in 2013 that saw 30 people detained.
Greenpeace activists say their protest against Russian drilling in the Arctic in 2013 helped curb the “oil rush” in the region, as a documentary series on the dramatic events is released.
At a preview screening, Greenpeace activists featured in the documentary said they had directed attention on the Arctic oil rush which was happening at the time, with major fossil fuel companies pushing into the region. “After we did our action there was so much attention on that area, there was attention for us and the fact we were in prison, but also why we were there.“We paid a price but I think it had an impact, that I don’t think we would have seen, at least not back then,” she said.
“It’s still happening. But people started talking about it during and after the Arctic 30 thing,” he said.
