Sabotage
In the first season of Sabotage, join reporters and friends Alessandra Ram and Samantha Oltman as they quit their jobs to report on a group of controversial climate activists that much of the world have written off as “crazy.” But are they?

Do these ordinary people-turned extraordinary rebels have what it takes to save the planet – before it’s too late?
