PETRA KELLY - ACT NOW! is a rediscovery of the political activist Petra Kelly, who was an exceptional figure in her fight for women's rights and climate protection and her international orientation and networking.

At the height of the Cold War in 1982, she brought hundreds of thousands onto the streets to protest against the stationing of nuclear missiles on West German soil. Petra Kelly became famous not only as a co-founder of the Green Party and its star, but also as a woman who was able to establish a new, world-changing policy and take on two superpowers. She became a symbolic figure of the peace movement in Europe and was in contact with East German intellectuals such as Wolf Biermann as well as international comrades-in-arms such as Joan Baez and the Dalai Lama. Already 40 years ago, she relentlessly demanded the radical transformation of society. Environmental, peace and human rights issues were equally important to her.
