Monkey Wrench
Members of an extreme anti-nuclear group from the 1980s are reunited in a Cheshire retirement home by an aging punk determined to closedown the UK’s nuclear power plans.
Pitch
Members of a feared anti-nuclear eco-terrorist group are reunited 40 years later in a Cheshire rest home by potty-mouthed punk, Elsie. Determined to pull off one final “monkey wrench” before they drop off the perch, the septuagenarian activists use the invisibility of their age to outsmart the security forces, overturn the construction of a next generation nuclear power plant, and find personal justice for a shocking but unpunished crime committed in 1985.
Greta Thunberg isn’t the only eco-warrior out there...
“All this time to make amends What do you do when all your enemies are friends?
Now and then I'll try to bend Under pressure, wind up snapping in the end.”
