Melting glaciers, a military arms race, the hurry to exploit resources at any cost - the Arctic is now the stage on which our future will be chose. And as conditions surge and the glaciers retreats, Vladimir Putin orders Russia's engine oil rigs to move north. But one early on September day in 2013, 30 women and men from 18 countries - the crew of Greenpeace's Arctic Sunrise - decide to draw a collection in the glaciers and protest the drilling in the Arctic. Thrown along with a common cause, they can be determined to avoid Putin and the oligarchs. But their protest is fulfilled with brutal make as Putin's commandos seize the Arctic Sunrise. Organised under armed shield by masked men, they can be recharged with piracy and face 15 years in Russia's nightmarish jail system. Ben Stewart - who spearheaded the campaign to release the Arctic 30 - instructs an astonishing story of love, courage, brutality, and survival. With wit, verve, and candor, he chronicles the incredible friendships the activists made out of their often murderous cellmates, their fight to outwit the jail guards, and the struggle to stay true to the cause that helped bring them there.
