    The next interview contains content which some people might find distressing. This includes discussion of strip searches and incarceration. Please take care and use discretion
     How brave do you need to be, to be a climate activist? You don't have to be a "disrupter" like Rosie, but her story of a day in the life of a "non-violent, direct, disruptive" climate activist with Blockade Australia is gripping and encouraging.
