On Thin Ice: Putin v Greenpeace

About This Production

Described by The Sunday Times as ‘A hell of a story’, this new 6-part documentary series charts the extraordinary story of 30 Greenpeace activists who went to protest at a Russian drilling platform against environmental damage in the Arctic. What starts as an idealistic mission to raise awareness descends into a chaotic and violent incident resulting in the protestors being arrested and left at the mercy of the Vladimir Putin’s legal system. Featuring hours of jaw-dropping archive shot at the time and the testimonies of key players from both sides, this unforgettable series has received huge critical acclaim, and nominated for a host of awards including the BAFTAs.
