title 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 look for a certain date and that's how it feels, 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 active us 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 lot to everyone will be able to have a car come over as long as it's because they can come to sit on alta hobb. ready ready ready wire parts of as far as endangered. let's run through it. in 201911, most adults. but tesla would be coming to green height of a small town. just east of berlin. mosque bought land from the state of brandenburg to build a mass of factory. this plant 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 clean hide 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 the 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 gig of factories, destruction of the environment as she calls it. the young people living in the camp have become her natural allies. son toya is with us. it's great that so many young people are committed to preserving the forest and water act as why does this lots of and that's why these are via most of this forest. and the area up ahead is in the drinking water protection zone. the some goose entire. i'm st. qualify for beach. not just the trees are a point of concern in the ground beneath live 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, i must in a recent poll, held include a height of over 60 percent of citizens voted against tesla's plans to expand the plant. even though tesla, hudson scaled down its plans, the company is still set on expanding its facility. every state. now it's here for these are sized up, 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 right. hold on and we'll continue to fight it. are getting kind of test or should stay on the site that's already been ruined. and not clear any more forest china invite of environment. what would we want to your test left side of the story, but our interview requests go on, answered the company isn't from us for not replying to media or 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 waste water pot, 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, 11 musk 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. i need water scientist, my team 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. the, the, the public can be so usual to build the factory on the 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. the cobra is if it were to become polluted, that'd be nothing to replace it with the some good friend 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 the different citizens initiative together with his friend to be us live. he follows and documents the development of you've got berlin. so be

you definitely, steve. a test that everyone's talking about test lines move. tesla also influences everything from the old testament makes many decisions that provoke discussions we can do without god being can they say one of their goals is the battlements 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. as other than 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 who transportation is one of the world's largest contributor is the 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. currently, there are 5 giga factories operating around the world tests. let's giga factory in germany opened in 2022 and is the only one in europe. test will make sure that this is a gemstone for the area for germany, for europe, and for the wells. the plant has generated economic growth in the region around 12000 people currently work a test line between height alone. tesla as such to big name. even jeremy's chancellor old showed showed up for the opening. the elect, a moving 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 calms. some criticize tesla, others be active as judgment. yeah, i think it's a shame, but if it brings any benefits to going high to in the region, i'd say yes and the other i was on went up to. so i guess which i was basically in favor of tests that come in 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, when 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 well, just lay about it's good for, nothing's going. the,

this is where 2 worlds flush 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 that because if anything is a few that has to be 5 years ago. i would have said testament, amazing because i know them, i don't know. i have a different opinion without a point than not such a car from these days. yeah, i think that we're simply spoiling a lot of opportunities with excessive individual transport, fucking as well. so i talked about and what does it say stuff tests while filming in front of the main entrance, we are approached by

a test flight employee or hello douglas. i just wanted a wondering. what do you guys filming? what do you guys have 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 have a press department to test. so usually our policy is, uh, i mean everybody has their own road 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 lives, expansion and then maybe some day to end the production of eaves. and instead build trims, buses, and trains in what was once tests, let's giga factory. but it's not realistic, the must be the investigator such power

behind it. 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 going to be so globally connected is the richest people in the world. generally have much more leeway many more context then we may be having our treehouse, w on the bottom of the question is 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 tesla, continuous of the
