into the house of savannah. how do they do in the secret life stuffs may 22nd on the w, the, the people here are being taken for a ride test level. will make sure that this is the gemstone area for germany, for europe, and for the world we oppose such as latan here in canada, because we can't afford to carry on this way, bytes of lights, multi billionaire alone must, once it's company tesla to expand the giga factory in germany knocked down parts of this forest turning what was once a sleepy little german town. upside down. it's a battle of david versus goliath. the

24 year old roman is ready to climb up to his current home. he has been living in a tree house in the forest for the past month. and that's not 1st of all, i love, forest isn't very much. i always feel deeply happy in the woods. ever since i got here. i've also felt fully grounded. but a part of this forest is to be cut down to expand a factory that is building climate friendly electric cars. a contradiction says roman who is set to start his master's, specializing in environmental protection. he and others are occupying the trees as a form of civil resistance to tesla. many of the activists cover their faces when the cameras are on. roman's name is also only an alias. test size. this test is great at selling what they're doing as

a solution to green alternatives to what we already have. we can't afford to carry on this way and that's when it's like a long term lots. everyone will be able to have a car come up as long as it's because income sheet on auto hub. ready ready ready wire parts of as far as endangered. let's run through it. in 2090, the dealer must announce that tesla would be coming to the lead height of a small town. just east of berlin. most bought land from the state of brandenburg to build a mass of factory. this plan produces tesla's model. why? for the european and international market, a mid range s u v, which was the world's best selling car last year. currently, test left produces around $300000.00 electric cars per year at queen height and wants to more than tripled this number of scaling. the production process would require tesla to expand the giga factory, knocking down a part of a forest for logistics center on the train station. this is some things we've

hired a resident model we la jolla will not stand for. we met her because she found the local citizens initiative and is campaigning loudly against any further expansion. since day one, she's been fighting against the giga factories, destruction of the environment, as she calls it. the young people living in the camp have become her natural allies as son toya is it us? it's great that so many young people are committed to preserving the forest and water act as why it is this last off. and that's why these are via most of this forest, and the area up ahead is in the drinking water protection zone. me some goose entire. i'm think why fi for beach? not just the trees are a point of concern in the ground beneath, lived vital water supplies. if these were to be contaminated, tens of thousands of people might find themselves without drinking water. she fears

isn't comstock. it's a bottle of david versus goliath. it's a fight that just makes you feel powerless and angry at times. and left. in a recent poll held include height of over 60 percent of citizens voted against the test. those plans to expand the planned, even though tesla, hudson scaled down its plans. the company is still set on expanding its facility. every state now, do you have, how do you guys try stop, sir? we are standing in front of this darned factory. and yeah, i want to tell you understand about the survey showing the residents of gluten high to didn't want an expansion, idaho one. and we'll continue to find it again can test or should stay on the site that's already been ruined, and not clear any more forest china and vitamin vitamin. who would we want to hear tesla side of the story, but our interview requests go on, answered the company, as in from us for not replying to media requests. however,

what is known is that they built a brand new industrial water filtration system. it allows the giga factory to recycle almost all of its industrial wastewater. but despite tesla's environmental efforts, the giga factory continues to face heavy resistance. in march, a power mask was set on fire. a radical leftist group played responsibility for the attack, which halted production at tesla for days, costing the company millions in moscow called the group, the quote, almost eco terrorists on earth for stopping the production of electric vehicles and visited the plant include high to the attack was condemned by local authorities and marked the biggest escalation so far. we want to hear an expert's take on the environmental situation and meet water scientist marching push. he says the area has been heavily impacted by climate

change, and despite recent reins is usually one of the driest regions in germany, of the public. if it's unusual to do the factory and a water protection area, people are worried about test. so now is all the body of water where the factory is located is one of the few we have in this region. but if it were to become polluted, that'd be nothing to replace it with a flip, some of that. but the factory also has the porters among the local population. to my knowledge, i screwed up. my name is albert cooler and from june. hi to innovation in the future are important to me and i think it's important. tim. good. the testing is here i've is trula as part of a different citizens initiative together with his friend to be us live. he follows

and documents the development of giga berlin. this would be a beautiful place to go test. everyone's talking about test. tesla also influences everything through your testing. i makes many decisions that provoke discussions we can do without god being can they say one of their goals is the bottom is information that has been pulled out by some of the test. let's opponents their initiative is they are to inform fellow citizens and enable affect driven debate grounded on a scientific basis. they say, just like the protesters in the camp, they are also worried about climate change. is all about everyone always says electric cars can stop climate change on their own. that's true, but public transport can't either nothing on its own can stop climate change. we need lots of different solutions and it is a whole. ready transportation is one of the world's largest contributors to carbon emissions. electric vehicles are seen as part of the solution by many tesla which

specializes any of these is the world's most valuable car company. ready currently, there are 5 giga factories operating around the world tests. let's get factory in germany opened in 2022 and is the only one in europe. test will make sure that this is a, a gemstone for the area for germany, for europe and for the wells of the plant has generated economic growth in the region around 12000. people currently work a test line between height alone. tesla is such a big name, even germany's chancellor old offshore showed up for the opening the elect and nobody electron mobility will shape the mobility of the future. that is clear here today the clock despite the support from the highest levels of government,

the 9000 people actually living and we hired to have very mixed opinions on tesla. the many people we met who refused to speak on cameras, said there was a tear running through the fabric of the town. families and friends are divided into separate comes some criticize tesla, others be active as judgment. yeah, i think it's a shame, but if it brings any benefits to go and hide in the region, i'd say yes and the other i was on his progress, which i was basically in favor of tests are coming here. i still stand by that because it can only advance the region. i was actually a bit against expansion though, because i think they should use the space they already have 1st to make sure, you know, i'm not, i'm just rather than protesting, they should be trying to get one of the jobs test was offering. how many members probably never worked a day in their lives, they should work for 48 years like i did. that entire will just lay about it's good for nothing's going. the,

this is where 2 worlds flush. ready on their way to work in the giga factory test, the workers have to pass by a t test lab protesters. very few of them ever stop at the info stands to chat with the actors. it's difficult for women to find people to talk to. so it's just him and the car except a business. if anything is a few that has to be 5 years ago, i would have said testament, amazing or something. i know them. i don't know. i have a different opinion with alta point than not such a cough on these days. yeah, i think that we're simply spoiling a lot of opportunities with excessive individual transport. uh, fox news hall. so i told her own what does it say stuff tested? well filming in front of the main entrance, we are approached by

a test flight employee, a hello. i think this address one is wondering what do you guys filming? what do you guys up to which outlet you are from? yes, i am from test. or are you from the are so sorry to say we don't really haven't press department of testing. so usually our policy is, uh, i mean everybody has their own role here, obviously, so they can do whatever they want. but we usually have this then that then nobody really talks to the press. woman says it will be difficult to find common ground. when asked what a solution could look like, he tells us the 1st step for him is to stop test was expansion. and then maybe some day to end the production of eaves and instead build trims, buses, and trains in what was once the test, let's giga factory. but it's not realistic. the,

to the investigator such power behind it. and one of the richest people in the world has decided this thing should go here, and people eat out of his hand, thousands of life, and that's gonna be so globally connected. and the richest people in the world generally have much more leeway many more context. then we may be having our treehouse of young. i'm almost questions how the and so he's back in his world. that's so different from the joint giga factory, the, the forest seems to be peaceful right now. while the fight against the tesla continuous of the actually ride the guide. no,
