Justine Stops Oil

Justine has it all figured out. Pilates, curry nights, The Chase.

But when daughter Claire announces she’s leaving home her bubble is violently burst.

Faced with a rocky marriage and rising dread, Justine searches for meaning and finds it in a group of activists bravely protesting oil and pissing everybody off.

Justine Stops Oil is a funny, fast-paced coming-of-age tale full of rage, humour and hope. It asks, what does it take to get people out of their echo chambers and onto the streets and how much would we be willing to sacrifice for change.
