When a small group of teenagers sit outside the Swedish parliament with handwritten placards demanding climate action, they ignite what will become one of the largest youth movements of modern times. Over seven years of filming, the documentary follows Greta, Isabelle, Sophia, Andreas, Anton, Ell, Simon and several others as they grow up with demonstrations, negotiations and political storms.
As we burn is the previously untold story of the collective that started the youth-led climate movement – Fridays for Future.

När en liten grupp tonåringar slår sig ner utanför Sveriges riksdag med handskrivna plakat som kräver klimatåtgärder, tänder de gnistan till vad som ska bli en av de största ungdomsrörelserna i modern tid. Under sju års inspelning följer dokumentären Greta, Isabelle, Sophia, Andreas, Anton, Ell, Simon och flera andra medan de växer upp med demonstrationer, förhandlingar och politiska stormar.
Strejkarna är den tidigare oberättade historien om kollektivet som startade den ungdomsdrivna klimatrörelsen – Fridays for Future.
