Title: Occupied
Post by: diddly on November 19, 2017, 09:08:20 AM
Occupied is a political thriller series about what happens when Norway wants out of the Fossil Fuel industry, in an attempt to lead the way in fighting climate change.  Basically the oil companies and the countries tied to them fight back.  http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2016/02/02/occupied_a_political_thriller_on_climate_change_now_on_netflix_reviewed.html (http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2016/02/02/occupied_a_political_thriller_on_climate_change_now_on_netflix_reviewed.html)

It's a fascinating "what if" that is becoming reality: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-17/norway-idea-to-exit-oil-stocks-is-shot-heard-around-the-world (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-17/norway-idea-to-exit-oil-stocks-is-shot-heard-around-the-world)

Be prepared to do some reading, however, since they're often not speaking English and are therefore subtitled.
