The Fight for Lützerath
A documentation of the clashes between police and climate activists as they protested against the evacuation of Lützerath to make way for the expansion of the Garzweiler coal mine. Already abandoned by its original residents, Lützerath has become a symbol of resistance to fossil fuels in Germany. Climate activists occupied the small village for a long time before they had to be evacuated by the police in January 2023. There were then numerous protests and clashes near the village.
