Netflix is making quite a name for itself in the documentary genre. Even though the streamer&#8217;s catalog is shrinking every day, the documentaries remain one of the best offerings on the platform. The streamer just debuted The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes this month and now, the 2020 docufilm Youth v. Gov is ready to stream on the platform. 
<h2>The inspiring story of 21 young activists </h2>
The Christi Cooper film follows the most interesting and inspiring cases of all time. It follows 21 young American activists who file a lawsuit, Juliana v. The United States of America against their government for policies that are actively affecting the environment and the planet. One of the plaintiffs reveals that she&#8217;s afraid for the future. Another is terrified that life will dissolve if the drought continues. Elsewhere climate change is affecting another&#8217;s family farm.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
21 young Americans sued the US government for failing to protect the planet in a revolutionary lawsuit.
Their journey is documented in Youth v. Gov — now on Netflix. <a href="https://t.co/ucRE18zhws">pic.twitter.com/ucRE18zhws</a>

These young activists, aged between 11-22 years, teamed up together to fight for their beliefs. The non-profit legal agency, Our Children&#8217;s Trust, has been representing the youth and fighting their case since 2015. They come from various states across the country: Florida, Alaska, Hawaii, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, New York, Louisiana, and Pennsylvania. Some of the youths also come from marginalized communities and are also members of the queer community. 
&#8220;We are not willing to wait around for someone else&#8217;s timeline to dictate the trajectory of our lives,&#8221; states Kelsey Juliana, a climate activist. 
The trailer of <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/youth-v-gov">Youth v. Gov</a> ends with the hope that even if they end up losing the case against a powerful opponent, this will remind others to take action to bring a change.

POV Magazine<a href="https://povmagazine.com/youth-v-gov-christi-cooper-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> writes</a>: “Cooper hopes that by introducing audiences to each young person on a personal, human level, people will see the fire in their eyes and come to understand their motivations.”
Furthermore, Glenn Close found the <a href="https://www.youthvgovfilm.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">film</a> “humbling, educational and deeply inspiring. Bravo!”
