&#8216;Youth v. Gov&#8217;: How 21 Young Plaintiffs Took the Us Government to Court to Protect the Planet

Netflix is making quite a name for itself in the documentary genre. Even though
the streamer’s catalog is shrinking every day, the documentaries remain one of
the best offerings on the platform. The streamer just debuted The Mystery of
Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes this month and now, the 2020 docufilm Youth v.
Gov is ready to stream on the platform. 


THE INSPIRING STORY OF 21 YOUNG ACTIVISTS 

The Christi Cooper film follows the most interesting and inspiring cases of all
time. It follows 21 young American activists who file a lawsuit, Juliana v. The
United States of America against their government for policies that are actively
affecting the environment and the planet. One of the plaintiffs reveals that
she’s afraid for the future. Another is terrified that life will dissolve if the
drought continues. Elsewhere climate change is affecting another’s family farm.

These young activists, aged between 11-22 years, teamed up together to fight for
their beliefs. The non-profit legal agency, Our Children’s Trust, has been
representing the youth and fighting their case since 2015. They come from
various states across the country: Florida, Alaska, Hawaii, Colorado,
Washington, Oregon, Arizona, New York, Louisiana, and Pennsylvania. Some of the
youths also come from marginalized communities and are also members of the queer
community. 

“We are not willing to wait around for someone else’s timeline to dictate the
trajectory of our lives,” states Kelsey Juliana, a climate activist. 

The trailer of Youth v. Gov [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/youth-v-gov] ends
with the hope that even if they end up losing the case against a powerful
opponent, this will remind others to take action to bring a change.
