Documentary follows teenager’s letters to jailed climate activists
The documentary “Prison Letters” follows Max, a 14-year-old experiencing climate anxiety, as he writes to imprisoned climate activists to understand their lives and direct action.

“Prison Letters” follows Max, a 14-year-old struggling with climate anxiety, as he writes to climate activists in prison, according to The Guardian. The teenager wants to understand the personal stories behind direct action and why some climate protesters have spent time in jail. The documentary centres on the letters and the responses that begin to arrive.
Those exchanges develop into a dialogue between generations. The supplied material says the connection changes Max’s despair into a sense of purpose. Max also writes to the judge presiding over a high-profile trial.
He is surprised when the judge refers to the letter in closing remarks. The source material does not identify the activists, the trial, the judge or the documentary’s release details.
